How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: CF is a maintenance reminder, not a failure code.

Steps:

  • 1. Remove and clean filter: Slide out the air filter from behind the front grille. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely.
  • 2. Clean intake grille: Wipe down the intake and discharge grilles with a damp cloth to remove dust.
  • 3. Reset indicator: On most Danby models, press and hold the FILTER RESET or TIMER button (check your manual) for 3–5 seconds until CF clears.
