    I constructed a kegerator build on a GE 7-cu foot chest freezer. I am having an issue with leaking from the front port on the unit.
    I have the kegerator on wood flooring and it has already damaged some of the floor before I was able to notice the leak. Anyone else have this issue and is there a preferred method of sealing the port?

    Dry it out, and use some clear bathroom silicone sealant. It'll pry off easy if you need to use the drain in the future.

    Yes I do mean drain, thanks. I will certainly try the silicone sealant, thank you for the advice.

    The drain should have a plug. Did you buy this used? Look for a hole in the bottom. A cork or similar stopper should do the trick.
