Danby ice maker interior surfaces are covered with heavy frost or ice buildup.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before defrosting. Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.

Steps to remove and prevent frost:

• Defrost the unit: Turn off and unplug the ice maker. Allow all ice and frost to melt naturally. Place towels to catch water.
• Check lid/door seal: Inspect the gasket for tears or warping. Replace if damaged.
• Reduce humidity: Move the unit to a less humid room if possible and avoid placing it near open windows or steam sources.
• Limit lid openings: Open the lid only when necessary to reduce warm, moist air entering.
• Check sensors: If the unit runs excessively long, verify that temperature and bin sensors are working correctly.
