Guide for Danby Refrigerator Troubleshooting

Select your problem from the Danby refrigerator manual to get simple solutions.

  1. Danby Refrigerator Not Cooling

The below conditions might be caused for your fridge not cooling.

Condenser coils are dirty

These coils are located under the refrigerator. They dissipate the heat as refrigerant passes through them. When they are dirty, the coils will not dissipate the heat effectively. If debris build-up on condenser coils, then the unit becomes less efficient and resulting in your fridge work harder to cool down. Also, it is unable to maintain the proper temperature. So, check the condenser coils to determine if they are dirty. You should clean them when they become dirty.

Condenser fan motor

Your fridge doesn't work properly when the fan motor is not running properly. To determine the fan motor is defective, first, verify the fan blade for obstructions. After that, turn the blades manually. If the fan blade is not moving freely, replace it. If the fan blade spins freely, then you have to test the continuity of the fan motor by using a multimeter. You have to replace the fridge condenser fan motor.

Evaporator fan motor

If the Danby refrigerator's fan is not working, it won't circulate the cold air to the unit's compartment. If this situation occurs, the freezer may still get cold while the unit will not get cold. So, by turning the fan blade by hand, you can determine if the evaporator fan motor is defective. You have to replace the fan motor if it doesn't move freely or noisy. If your motor not running at all, test it with a multimeter for continuity and replace it if need.

1.Water Dispenser Not Working

Water-tube in the fridge door is frozen.

To check that the water supply tube is frozen, you have to disconnect the tube from the door and blow air through it. If the air will not pass through, it indicates that the water tube is frozen. Thaw it out if the water supply tube is frozen. Moreover, the freezer should keep at the right temperature, i.e., 0-10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Water inlet valve

This valve opens to supply water to the dispenser. If the water pressure is too low or the valve is defective, then the water valve doesn't open. The valve should require at least 20 PSI to work properly. If the pressure is sufficient, check for continuity with a multimeter. When there is no continuity, you have to replace it.

1.Water Leaking.

Clogged or frozen defrost drain

The water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the compartment bottom when the defrost drain is frozen. Then, the water may leak onto the floor. To determine whether it is frozen or clogged, check the defrost drain. If the defrost drain is freeze, you have to boil the ice. Also, flush the drain with hot water to ensure that it is free of debris.

Water tank assembly

Check the water tank assembly for any leaks. If there is any leak, you need to replace the tank. You should not repair the tank because the glue won't be stuck correctly to the plastic of the tank.

Water inlet valve

When the water inlet valve has loose-fitting or cracked, water leaks from the valve. Ensure that the valve is tightly secured to the water supply line.

Also, check the water filter housing, head, drain pan, and water filter.

1.Fridge Ice Maker Not Working

The freezer temperature is above 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the temperature of the freezer is above 10 degrees F, the ice maker doesn't produce ice cubes efficiently. When this temperature is too high, make sure the condenser coils are clear of debris and the fan is working properly. Also, verify that the frost has been built upon the evaporator coils. If the evaporator coils frosted over time, part of the defrost system might be failed.

Ice maker assembly

Any of the components of the ice maker assembly may be faulty. You have to replace the entire ice maker as components are not sold separately. Before replacing this assembly, you have to check the water inlet valve, water line, and fan.

Door switch and ice maker switch

If these switches are turned on and but the ice maker not running, test these switches with a multimeter for continuity. Replace them if there is no continuity.
