If your Danby refrigerator coffee maker is not working, start with the basics: make sure you have cold water at the dispenser. A fridge water dispenser not working is often just a closed supply valve, a clogged or overdue water filter that needs replacing, or low household water pressure. If water flows but the brewer won’t pour, remove the brewing module and rinse it—check the upper and lower pins for clogs and clear them with a paper clip if needed. Finally, confirm the brewer is seated correctly on the rails with the name plate facing forward; the unit must be installed and reset to dispense another cup. Those three checks—water supply and filter, clogged pins, and brewer installation—fix the majority of built-in coffee maker problems. If you need a replacement water supply tube, filter, brew pin, or brewing module, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact part that fits your refrigerator.

Make sure you are getting cold water at the dispenser. If not, check that the water supply to the refrigerator is turned on. If the water flow is slow, try replacing the water filter; the water filter should be replaced every 6 months.

After each use the brewing module should be removed and rinsed with water. If the upper or lower pin gets clogged, you can use a paper clip to clean out the holes.
With the brewing module inserted on the rails, the brewer's name plate must be facing the user and must be removed and reinstalled to dispense another cup.
