Default Drilling a hole for a kegerator
Model Number: 363.8691582   Brand: Kenmore   Age: More than 10 years   

I'm converting a Kenmore top-bottom refrigerator to a keg fridge. I need to drill a 1" hole in the side of the refrigerator to run my beer lines through to a tap, but I'm afraid of hitting a coolant line. Are my worries valid?

thanx,

shane

Hi Shane,

Good idea! I like it!

On which side and how far from the rear panel of the fridge you need this hole?

Gene.

If you're facing the front of the fridge, I want to drill a hole on the right side. The location on the right side really doesn't matter to me as long as I don't hit a line. I was thinking about 18" from the back, and about 14" high. Think that will be ok? Thanks for the help.

Shane,

You can do it.

At this location it's not going to create any problems.

Gene.
