Danby freezer shows L1 or LO and may shut off cooling; alarm may sound.

Safety first: Avoid prolonged contact with very cold metal surfaces inside the freezer.

Steps to address L1/LO:

• Verify actual temperature: Place an accurate freezer thermometer inside and compare to the display. If the display shows much lower than actual, a sensor or control issue is likely.
• Check sensor placement: Locate the cabinet temperature sensor and ensure it is not touching the evaporator coil directly, which can cause it to read too cold. Reposition it to sense air temperature if necessary.
• Inspect wiring: Check the sensor harness for damage or loose connections at the control board.
• Replace sensor if needed: If readings are erratic or out of expected resistance range, install a new cabinet temperature sensor.
• Control board calibration: If a new sensor does not correct the issue, the main control board may be miscalibrated and require replacement.

Note: Extremely low ambient room temperatures (e.g., unheated garages in winter) can also cause abnormal readings and operation.
