About the Kegco XCK-1S Kegerator
The Kegco XCK-1S is a freestanding, stainless-steel office kegerator that holds one full-size keg and pours from a two-tap tower. It needs no waterline or countertop cutouts, so it fits easily in a main kitchen, kitchenette, or café. It’s a strong choice for offices that want draft beverages on hand for happy hours, team celebrations, and client events without a major buildout.

Upkeep Recommendations
Regular upkeep keeps every pour cold and clean, and it helps your kegerator last longer.
- Daily: Wipe down the exterior and tower. Rinse the drip tray. Check the temperature and pressure.
- Weekly: Clean the faucet spouts. Wash the drip tray. Wipe up any spills inside the unit.
- Monthly: Clean the beer lines with line cleaner, and clean them after each keg change. Inspect the couplers and O-rings.
- Yearly: Schedule a preventative maintenance cleaning every 6 months.
Troubleshooting Tips
-
Issue: Pours are mostly foam.
Possible Cause: The beer is too warm, the keg was recently moved, or the lines are due for cleaning.
Fix: Keep the door closed so the unit stays cold. Give a newly delivered keg time to settle before pouring. Open the faucet fully and pour at an angle.
Request Maintenance: Submit an equipment ticket in the Crafty Platform if foaming continues after the keg has settled, or if the pressure reading looks off. -
Issue: Beer isn’t cold enough.
Possible Cause: The door was left open, the vents are blocked, or a new keg hasn’t fully chilled yet.
Fix: Make sure the door is fully closed. Clear any items blocking the space around the unit. Give a new keg time to cool down.
Request Maintenance: Submit an equipment ticket in the Crafty Platform if the beer is still warm a day later, or if the unit doesn’t seem to be running. -
Issue: Slow pour or no flow.
Possible Cause: The keg is empty or the CO2 supply is low.
Fix: Check whether the keg is empty and needs to be swapped.
Request Maintenance: Submit an equipment ticket in the Crafty Platform if the keg isn’t empty and flow doesn’t return, or if the CO2 tank needs attention. -
Issue: The faucet drips or leaks.
Possible Cause: The faucet isn’t fully closed, the drip tray is full, or an O-ring is worn.
Fix: Push the faucet handle all the way closed. Empty and rinse the drip tray.
Request Maintenance: Submit an equipment ticket in the Crafty Platform if the leak continues or water is pooling inside or under the unit.
