Danby Washer controls don't work
When your Danby washer controls are not working, start by checking whether the entire display or timer is dead. A damaged power cord is the most likely cause, especially if you see broken insulation, exposed wires, or blackened terminals near the connections. Next, test the line fuse and washer fuse with a multimeter for continuity. If either fuse has no continuity, it has blown and must be replaced. If the washer has power but a control still does not respond, inspect the selector knob, timer knob, and control knob. A cracked or stripped knob may slip on the switch or timer stem instead of engaging it, causing washer controls not working symptoms even though the internal control is fine. These checks cover common Danby washing machine control problems, including a washer selector knob not working or a timer knob that will not turn the control. Disconnect power before inspecting or testing parts, and replace damaged components with the correct match. Enter your washer's model number to find the exact replacement power cord, fuse, selector knob, timer knob, or control knob for your specific Danby washing machine.
01 - Danby Washing Machine Power Cord
If the whole washer display or timer is not working, the washer's power cord could the source of the problem. Inspect the cord for any breaks or burn marks near the terminals. If the terminals appear blackened or wires are exposed through the cord's insulation, you should replace the power cord with a new one.
