Excessive frost buildup in freezer, especially around door opening and on food packages.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator if you will be defrosting large amounts of ice.

Steps to reduce frost buildup:

• Inspect and clean gasket: Wipe the gasket and mating surfaces with warm soapy water to remove debris that may prevent sealing.
• Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and is not held open by food items or shelves.
• Defrost excess ice: Remove food, unplug the unit, and allow ice to melt. Use towels to catch water. Do not chip ice with sharp tools.
• Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is torn or warped, install a new OEM Danby gasket.
• Usage habits: Minimize door openings and avoid leaving the door open for extended periods, especially in humid environments.
