Freezer will not turn on at all; no lights, no display, no sound.

Safety first: Do not attempt repairs with wet hands or standing on a wet floor.

Steps to restore power:

• Check outlet and breaker: Test the outlet with another device. Reset any tripped breakers or replace blown fuses in the home panel.
• Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. If damaged, replace the power cord assembly.
• Verify internal fuse: Some Danby models include an internal thermal fuse on the control board or wiring harness. With power disconnected, test for continuity and replace if open.
• Control board: If power is present at the board input but nothing powers on, the main control board is likely failed and should be replaced.

Warning: If you smell burning or see scorch marks, discontinue use and have the unit inspected by a professional.
