Danby freezer shows E7 and the display or keypad does not respond correctly.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing the control panel or display assembly.

Steps to address E7:

• Access the display panel: Remove screws or clips holding the front control panel. Carefully pull it forward to expose the ribbon cable or harness.
• Inspect connections: Ensure the ribbon cable is fully seated at both the display and main board ends. Look for kinks, cracks, or corrosion on the contacts.
• Dry any moisture: If there are signs of condensation or liquid spills, gently dry the area and clean contacts with electronic contact cleaner (power disconnected).
• Test keypad: With the panel removed, press buttons and feel for proper tactile response. A spongy or stuck button may indicate a failed keypad membrane.
• Replace UI board: If the cable is intact but E7 persists and buttons do not respond, replace the user interface / display board.
• Check main board: If a new UI does not resolve the issue, the main control board may have a communication fault and require replacement.

Tip: Handle ribbon cables by the stiffened ends only to avoid damaging the conductors.
