If you're looking for help fixing your Danby Microwave, look no further! Our comprehensive Danby Microwave Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.

Danby Microwave not heating 
The diode converts the A/C power output of the transformer to D/C, doubling the voltage to nearly 5,000 volts. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. If the diode burns out, the magnetron won’t receive enough voltage to operate, preventing the microwave from heating. When the diode fails, it is often visibly burned out. Inspect the diode and if the diode is burned out, replace it. If inspecting the diode proves inconclusive, test it with a multimeter that uses a 9-volt battery or put a 9-volt battery in series with the diode. When the leads are reversed, the diode should only have continuity in one direction. (Warning: The microwave oven can store a lethal amount of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the high running voltage and the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the diode.) 

Danby Microwave not working 
If too much current passes through the microwave circuitry, the line fuse will blow. If the line fuse blows, the microwave won’t start. To determine if the line fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you should investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to blow. If you don’t resolve the underlying issue, the new fuse will blow too. (Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the line fuse.) 

Danby Microwave light bulb not working 
The light bulb itself might be burned out. Replace the light bulb before replacing any of the parts associated with the light bulb 

Danby Microwave shuts off after a few seconds 
A door switch might be failing intermittently. Check each of the door switches for signs of overheating, arcing, or burning. If you don’t see any obvious signs of failure, use a multimeter to test each switch for continuity. If any of the switches is visibly damaged or only has intermittent continuity, replace it. 

Danby Microwave turntable not turning 
Use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity. If the turntable motor does not have continuity, replace it. 

Danby Microwave buttons not working 
To determine if the touchpad is defective, try pressing each of the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons respond correctly while others don’t, replace the touchpad. 

Danby Microwave display not working 
If the display goes out partially, the display board is more commonly at fault. If the display isn’t working at all, either the main control board or the display board could be at fault. 

Danby Microwave turns on by itself 
First, make sure that the touchpad is working properly. If the touchpad is working properly, the main control board is likely at fault. If the control board is defective, replace it. 

Danby Microwave is sparking or arcing 
The waveguide cover might be damaged and shorting out. Try removing the waveguide cover and see if the problem resolves. If the waveguide cover is burnt or will not stay in place, replace it.

Very nice microwave for the money....lots of features. I bought this to replace a countertop microwave that did not have the handle. So much easier to open than pushing a button.

I love the stainless steel and black color. It matches my kitchen perfectly. The microwave is easy to use and heats up the food great. For me, the final test is how it pops popcorn and it passed. Pretty much all the kernels were popped and the popcorn wasn't burnt.

I like this microwave. You do have to heat things at the maximum versus minimum suggested time but that isn't an issue for me.

We got this microwave because it was the highest wattage we could find for the small space we had... and had good reviews. The microwave is very nice and performs well. The only complaint is the box it comes in is extremely flimsy. The first one we ordered came damaged. The replacement we had sent to the store, hoping it would be exposed to less shipping damage. The box was still damaged the second time, but the microwave was okay. Worth the money, but be careful of the poor packaging.

After our 13 year old microwave died, we were looking for something a lot more functional, space saving and stylish. We succeeded in all areas with the Danby Designer 0.9 Cu. Ft. compact microwave! It is perfect for the two offices (approx. 12 to 14 people) that share the kitchenette and use it for heating lunches, snacks and cups of coffee or tea that have gone cold. And the price was excellent too!
