Q:The appliance has a dial 1-7 for temperature. To what number do I need to place to get a temperature of minimal -4 F?

Answer This Question

A:  Hello, Thank you for your question. The DUFM085A2WDD1 has a temperature range of approximately 10.4F to -11.2F. The temperature settings are from 1 to 7 with the higher the number the colder the temperature in the unit. As this is a manual setting and not a digital one we would recommend you set the unit at 4 and after 2 hours you can confirm the temperature using a thermometer. Once you have confirmation of the temperature you can adjust accordingly. Regards Ann H Consumer Service

    A:  There is no temperature readout on the freezer. I use an inexpensive refrigerator/freezer thermometer and monitor the inside temperature at various settings until I get dialed into the temperature that I want. I do not know how the manufacturer actually monitors and controls the temperature but I am guessing that the control is not highly calibrated such that a particular temperature equates to a specific number on the dial. By using a thermometer as suggested, you will find the setting that works for your freezer.

        A:  I have had this freezer for two years after having another one for 35 years. I HATE this freezer no matter what setting it is on, EVERYTHING becomes freezer burnt. I have reached out to both Danby and Home Depot and have had no satisfaction. Wish I had never purchased this. My frrezer of 35 years worked better

                                                It is a good, easy to organize freezer. It has a small footprint, that works well in small spaces.

                                                This is a great little freezer for 1 maybe 2 person house hold. It's a little hard to open but thats because it seals nice and tight. It is well worth the money.

                                                Just what I needed!
                                                Love this freezer! The only negatives, not enough to deduct a star, were some minor dents and scratches. Heck, I just put a magnetic business card over them. Coming from a chest style, the freezer holds more than I expected and uses less power. I noticed that it only runs about half the time. It could use a pilot light so that I could tell at a glance whether or not power was on to it. I am using a small spike filter that has a light on it as a substitute. Looking forward to eventually purchasing the companion frig.
