I have a Danby dar483bls.... It gets cold then in once it gets to the desired temp it shuts off???

Does the compressor actually run or is it just the evaporator fan that you hear running inside the unit? If the compressor is running but never gets cold you have a leak in the system and not much freon left.

Sounds like a gas leak. Could be caused by rust. If refrigerant has leaked out through a failure in the pipe work it's probably not worth fixing. If compressor still runs ok get a tech to check for pipe damage or failure. If you continue to run compressor longer term without refrigerant it will damage the compressor. Best to get a tech to ascertain the problem soon.

Hi there,

Please have a look at page 4 of the product manual where step-by-step directions are provided for setting your desired temperature.

My Temperature settings are not working, also is not cooling. The factory setting is also not working. Is there something I can do?

It won't draw more than 7.5 amps when is running and at the sttart momentum it might go up to10 amps , always with a 110 volt line.

I have a similar problem with danby and have been unable to get help - I now HATE Danby Chest Freezers

These refrigerator use the cold air from the freezer the cool the refrigerator. At the rear of the upper refrigerator compartment, there is a shroud. Remove the shroud and you should see a "flapper" that shuts off the cold air when desired. You will most likely see the flap is broken. Once the flap is broken, you lose control of your refrigerator temp. This is a common problem with this refrigerator.
Hope this helps.

It's the Danby "auto-defrost" feature. It cycles off every 24 hrs to defrost, at which time the temp rises (as the unit isn't running!). Not much you can do. By the way, the blue LED temp display isn't accurate. It NEVER gets 36 (liquid temp) inside the Danby unless you do the following: Open the door and look to the back left. There is a small grate covering the temp sensor. Remove the grate and place the sensor into a small cup of water. The sensor will now read the "liquid" temp inside the keg, and not the "air" temp. The Danby will then cool the inside to a more beer friendly temp, and should not only cut back on foam, but taste better.
