Real amateur here. Please feel free to shoot me. I have a mini fridge that was designed as a kegerator. Tap on top. I put a full sized keg in it. Due to the size I am running the CO2 from outside in the front door but co2 is staying warm. I am only getting 3 PSI. I am down to 1000 on the Co2 but it's the PSI that the problem I know. Is it because it's hot. The keg is cold but NOT frozen and I cannot detect any other issue.

Have you messed with the adjustment screw that should be on the front of the regulator? 1000 should be enough to power about 10 1/2 barrels I believe.

Keeping the bottle outside the refrigerator is a good idea also. You will get more use out of a warmer bottle than a cold one.
