Troubleshooting: Keg can't cool downUpdated 17 hours ago
Don't worry, your Smart Keg will most likely work perfectly. Your Smart Keg is designed to cool your beer down to 62°F below the ambient temperature, but it may take longer in warmer climates, especially in environments exceeding 78°F. It's adaptable and will still provide a refreshing drink.
Position Cooling Technology
It cools most efficiently with 1 gallon of beer or more.
It becomes increasingly challenging to achieve a cooling capacity below 1 gallon, and accuracy is compromised for a cooling capacity below 0.3 gallons.
The cooling element and sensor, located at the keg's center height (see red arrow), become less effective when beer levels drop, as they cool the air.

Practically Tip
By tilting the keg, as shown in the picture below, the Peltier element will have a bigger surface to cool the liquid, allowing you to reach colder temperatures than the ordinary setup.
Another step is to ensure the cooling element has sufficient airflow and check for dust on the black cover plate. Vacuum or use pressurized air to clean it. If issues persist, please try relocating the keg to a cooler spot.
