    There is a lot more to a kegerator than just stuffing a keg in it. I'm guessing you likely froze the lines or keg. You need to study up on how to balance your system. Depending on what brand and model you bought you may also need to do a little work on it to get it up to snuff.

    And there are many carbonation charts online to help with the numbers. Or you could download the spreadsheet calculator at this link, which integrates the variables...

    I'd say if the lines are frozen, a portable bernz-o-matic can be used to thaw them out?

    Not if you're using a liquid propane charging agent. That would be suicidal.
