When your Danby stove or oven controls don't work, a damaged control knob is the most likely cause. Start with the timer knob, which must grip and turn the timer stem. If it is cracked, stripped, or slipping, the timer control will not respond. Next, check the thermostat knob, selector knob, control knob, and general stove knob for the same problem. Each knob must engage its stem firmly so it can operate the thermostat, selector switch, switch, or gas valve. A knob that turns without changing the setting needs to be replaced. This can cause Danby stove controls not working, oven controls not working, or an oven control that seems unresponsive even though the appliance has power. If all knobs are intact and properly engaged, a recent power surge or outage may have temporarily affected the controls. Turn off power to the Danby range or stove for several minutes, then restore it and test the controls. Enter your model number to find the exact timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, control knob, or other replacement part made for your specific Danby stove or oven.
