Safety first: Disconnect power and shut off water before accessing internal components.

Steps to resolve F2:

Locate the mold sensor: On built‑in Danby units, the sensor is usually clipped to the ice mold or evaporator surface inside the ice compartment.
Check attachment: Ensure the sensor is firmly clipped or strapped to the mold. If loose, resecure it so it makes good thermal contact.
Inspect wiring: Follow the sensor wires back to the control board. Look for chafed insulation, pinched wires, or loose connectors. Repair or reseat as needed.
Test the sensor: With the unit unplugged, disconnect the sensor and measure resistance. Compare to Danby’s temperature/resistance chart. Replace if readings are out of range or open/shorted.
Replace the sensor: Install a new Danby ice mold/evaporator sensor if faulty. Route wires away from sharp edges and moving parts.
Reassemble and test: Restore power and water, then monitor several ice cycles to confirm F2 does not return.

Built‑in Danby ice maker displays F2; ice production is intermittent or stops.
