I haven't read those bar fridge threads in ages, so my memory is suspect, but I thought that eventually the compressors fail or something like that? They're not designed for a duty cycle of a tank chiller situation. In a normal fridge, the compressor does some work, the fridge cools down, and then stays cool for a period of time (gradually but slowly warms up to the point where it has to kick in again). As a tank chiller, it never cools down so it never gets that "rest" period or something like that.
