Danby Oven meat thermometer not working
If your Danby oven probe is not working, the meat probe is the most likely cause. A faulty probe can trigger an oven probe error, show an incorrect temperature, or make the meat thermometer not working symptom appear even when the oven heats normally. Test the probe resistance with a multimeter while the probe is at room temperature and as its temperature changes. An open circuit indicates a failed probe that needs replacement. If the probe tests correctly, check the probe jack or receptacle for corrosion, damage, or poor contact, then inspect the wiring and connections. The control board is another common cause because it reads the probe's resistance and controls the temperature display. A defective door switch can also prevent the probe from operating if your Danby oven requires the door to be closed, so test the switch for continuity when actuated. Less commonly, the oven control board may have failed. Enter your Danby oven's model number to find the exact replacement meat probe, receptacle, door switch, or control board for your appliance. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts.
01 - Danby Range/Stove/Oven Meat Probe
The meat probe resistance changes with the temperature of the probe. If the probe shows an open circuit when tested with a multimeter, the probe is bad and will need to be replaced.

Highly Likely
02 - Danby Range/Stove/Oven Control Board
When the probe is plugged into the jack, the control board monitors the food temperature from the probe. If the temperature probe and jack are good but the control board is not responding, the control board is likely bad.
Common
03 - Danby Range/Stove/Oven Door Switch
Some oven meat thermometers will not function properly unless the oven door is closed which activates a door switch to alert the control board that the door is closed. If the door switch is defective, the oven meat thermometer may not work. To determine if the switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for electrical continuity when actuated. If the door switch does test appropriately for continuity, replace it.
Uncommon But Possible
04 - Danby Range/Stove/Oven Receptacle
The meat probe jack or receptacle needs to be clean and making good contact with the meat probe. If the receptacle appears corroded or damaged, the component should be replaced.
Uncommon But Possible
05 - Danby Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board
When the probe is plugged into the jack, the oven control board monitors the food temperature from the probe. If the temperature probe and jack are good but the control board is not responding, the control board is likely bad.
Uncommon But Possible
