How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply before working around the door seal.

  • Inspect gasket: Open the door and carefully examine the rubber door boot for tears, holes, or deformation, especially at the bottom.
  • Clean seal: Wipe the gasket groove and glass with a damp cloth to remove lint, hair, and detergent residue that can prevent sealing.
  • Check clamps: Gently pull back the gasket edge and inspect the inner and outer retaining clamps. Tighten or reseat if loose.
  • Replace gasket: If damaged, remove the front panel (if required), release the clamps, and install a new Danby door gasket, ensuring correct orientation and full seating.
