Danby countertop ice maker does not power on at all; no lights or display.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening any panels. Do not work on live circuits.

Steps to diagnose no‑power condition:

• Verify outlet: Plug a lamp or another appliance into the same outlet to confirm it has power. Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
• Inspect the power cord: Check the Danby cord for cuts, fraying, or burn marks. If damaged, replace the entire cord set.
• Check the on/off switch: Ensure the power switch (if present) is in the ON position and not loose or broken.
• Access the control board: Remove the rear or bottom panel to locate the main PCB. Look for an onboard fuse. Test it with a multimeter and replace with the same rating if blown.
• Inspect for visible damage: Burnt components or a strong burnt smell indicate a failed board. In that case, replace the main control PCB.
• Reassemble and test: After replacing any faulty parts, reassemble the unit, plug it in, and confirm that the display and indicators power up.

Warning: If the new fuse blows immediately, there is likely a short circuit that requires professional diagnosis.
