I concur.I'd unplug it for 24 hours, let it open and clean out any water from inside. Then I'd plug it in with a thermometer in it, set it for its coldest and check it after 4 hours or so. I had my wine cooler fermentation chamber freak out on me before the wedding I was brewing for and it froze my lager. I just unplugged the thing since I didn't have time to deal with it. The temperature settings only go 45-65 so freezing my beer isn't really supposed to be able to happen. It could be that there is a tiny crack in the capillaries of your cooling element inside the fridge. That's how my last kegerator checked out, but it got damaged in a cross country move. I say do a system reset before you make any kind of decision. Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Even if it works you should build out a 4 tap chest freezer :PEdit: looks like gnef and I are on the same page, but personally I'd pull the beer out even if I didn't have a place to put it. You want to just test the system out with no load in it, rather than having a couple of kegs in there containing a large thermal mass for the fridge to deal with while just doing a test. He's right on not bothering to fix it. The cost for almost any repair will be as much or more than a new unit.
