Danby freezer displays E6 and may not power on the compressor or fans correctly.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing the control board. Avoid static discharge by touching a grounded metal object before handling electronics.

Steps to address E6:

• Power cycle: Disconnect power for at least 10 minutes to fully discharge the control. Restore power and check if E6 returns.
• Inspect control housing: Remove the control panel cover (usually at the front top or rear of the unit). Look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or signs of moisture intrusion.
• Check connectors: Reseat all harness connectors to the control board, ensuring they are fully engaged and not corroded.
• Verify supply voltage: With the unit plugged in (only if you are trained and comfortable working with live voltage), confirm that proper line voltage is present at the control board input. If voltage is low or unstable, correct the outlet or circuit issue.
• Replace control board: If E6 persists and no external wiring faults are found, replace the main control board with the correct Danby part number for your model.

Note: Control board replacement often requires transferring wiring one connector at a time to avoid miswiring. Take photos before removal.
