    I recently purchased a kegerator and after tapping a keg the beer is leaking out around the area where the coupler connects to the keg. A very slow leak but noticeable in the bottom of the kegerator. The kegerator has 2 taps and 2 couplers and both leak in the same area and with 2 different kegs. Any suggestions?

    typically when i have bought a product that immediately fails i expect the seller to have some sort of solution.
    did you ask the seller of this kegerator for advice or a solution? you have a warranty? probably as simple as some loose hose clamps. to be honest, this is something you paid for. there are just too many crappy retailers to diagnose all of their problems imo.

    One would consider checking / replacing the seal on the sankey
    And make sure both mateing surfaces are clean and free of any imperfections
