Kegerators have fast become a favourite feature in Aussie homes, bars, man caves, and even office breakrooms. Whether you’re tapping a crisp lager at home, pouring craft beer at a special event, or keeping soft drinks on tap for a crowd, kegerators offer the perfect blend of convenience and cool. But like all specialised appliances, kegerators need care and maintenance—and when things go wrong, you need a trusted expert to get them sorted quickly and properly.

No lugging your heavy unit around or waiting weeks for repairs—our expert technicians come to you, equipped with the know-how and tools to get your kegerator running smoothly again.
In this article, we’ll explore the versatility of kegerators, the most common issues they face, the pros and cons of owning one, and why Selective Fridges is your best bet for mobile kegerator repairs in Perth.
What Is a Kegerator?
A kegerator is a specially designed refrigeration unit that stores and dispenses kegged beverages—most commonly beer, but also cider, kombucha, cocktails, and even cold brew coffee. It keeps your beverage of choice at the perfect serving temperature while maintaining carbonation through a CO₂ system. With a tap system mounted on top and the keg stored inside, a kegerator offers bar-style service in the comfort of your own space.
You’ll find kegerators used in:
- Home entertainment areas and patios
- Office staff rooms
- Restaurants and breweries
- Pop-up bars and event spaces
- Food trucks and mobile bars
They’re compact, stylish, and provide a cost-effective way to enjoy drinks on tap without wasting bottles or cans.
Why Kegerators Need Specialised Repairs
Unlike standard fridges, kegerators are multi-functional machines that include several integrated systems: refrigeration, gas regulation, tap hardware, and pressure regulators. If even one part of the system fails, your drinks may lose their chill, go flat, or develop off flavours.
Common issues include:
- Inconsistent temperature control
- Faulty CO₂ regulators or leaks
- Pressure imbalances causing foamy or flat pours
- Clogged or dirty tap lines
- Compressor or fan failures
- Fridge not cooling at all
- Leaking or broken seals
- Electrical faults
Because of their specialised nature, kegerator repairs require technicians who understand both refrigeration systems and beverage-dispensing technology. That’s exactly what we offer at Selective Fridges.

The Pros and Cons of Owning a Kegerator

- Environmentally friendly: Fewer cans and bottles mean less waste.
- Perfect pours: You get bar-quality drinks at home.

- Multi-beverage options: Serve cold brew coffee, kombucha, cocktails, or soda.
Cons
- Maintenance required: You’ll need to regularly clean tap lines and check gas levels.

- Special parts: If something breaks, it’s not always a quick DIY fix—specialised components can require professional servicing.
- Initial cost: The upfront cost of the fridge, tap system, and CO₂ gear can add up, though it’s a long-term investment.
