Danby Propane Refrigerator Information

Danby Gas Refrigerator – All-Purpose Refrigerators Requiring No Electric Power

Danby propane refrigerator models were once the most popular gas refrigerators available from Warehouse Appliance. Although they are no longer in production, there are many users who still rely on these exceptional refrigerators, which are excellent appliances to have in off-grid locations, including cabins as well as vacation homes. It does not matter how long electric power may be unavailable in your location; you will have your food items, perishable items, as well as other items well preserved with a Danby gas fridge and other gas refrigerators, such as the Consul gas refrigerator.

A Danby propane gas refrigerator is ideal for use in:

• Vacation homes
• Cabins
• Remote locations
• It is also perfect for use as an emergency backup

Features of Danby Propane Refrigerators:

Danby fridges work perfectly to produce great value for the money invested. You will find the 7.8 cubic foot box unit with a freezer compartment having features such as removable shelving, an interior light (battery-powered), an egg rack, glide shelves (three), and a massive vegetable crisper. These refrigerators also come with removable crystal compartments, a recessed-handle European rounded door, reversible door hinges, as well as other standard features. This unit is considered a small propane refrigerator compared to the EZ Freeze line of larger models.

Other features include piezo ignition and temperature control systems integrated in such an easily accessible manner. There is also a safety shut-off valve, and of course, no electric plugs are needed. Danby gas refrigerator models keep your perishable items intact and help you preserve almost anything without relying on conventional electric power to do so. 

These refrigerators also feature male flare fitting (3/8 inches).

This model was the smallest propane refrigerator for sale in our lineup until the factory stopped production. The smallest unit we sell today is the EZ Freeze EZ-10, which is another exceptional option for propane refrigeration and highly recommended by our team as a replacement for Danby and Consul models.

This item is an excellent buy for everyone, whether you are residing in the center of the city or in remote locations where there may be no electric power supply. Vacation homes and cabins are also known to benefit greatly from these exceptional refrigerators, as they have their foods and other items well preserved without relying on solar or regular electric power supply.

Parts for Danby Refrigerators

Unfortunately, production of the Danby propane refrigerator options ceased a few years ago.  Parts for these refrigerators are becoming increasingly hard to find. At Warehouse Appliance, we do our best to find parts for consumers who have a Danby refrigerator that may need help, but it is getting harder and harder to do. We purchased a large quantity of parts and pieces after the Danby factory stopped producing refrigerators but these pieces are limited. Yet, due to our commitment to our customers, we will continue to try to find parts – even used parts when available.

DANBY GAS REFRIGERATOR – CONSUL GAS REFRIGERATOR

As one of the most popular propane refrigerators for off-grid living, Danby gas refrigerators have been at work for over 20 years with excellent results! We consider it to be a small propane refrigerator. Made by Consul in Brazil and also labeled by Danby. These units have a 7.8 cubic foot box and freezer compartment as well as removable shelving, a molded 18 egg rack, a battery-operated interior light, three easy glide shelves, a large vegetable crisper, a European rounded door with recessed handle, and reversible door hinges for left or right-hand opening. The temperature control and piezo ignition system is easily accessed on a front panel; it includes a safety shut-off valve. Best of all, no electric plugs are needed! Sadly, as mentioned, this unit has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Please see the EZ Freeze EZ-11 for the most comparable model.

Danby Propane Refrigerator – vs – the EZ Freeze EZ-11

Imported and private-labeled by the Danby Corporation, this gas refrigerator is identical to the Consul Fridge. Both are made by Whirlpool of Brazil; these units only differ by the nameplate on the front door. Although these units are no longer in production, some parts are available, and service is still available as well. Our service department continues to repair them for our local customers or those who do not mind trucking or shipping them to our facility. Others may choose to get outside help by purchasing the Danby Repair DVD. 

On today’s market, a well-kept unit is resellable from anywhere between $600.00 and $1000.00. A comparable new model made by EZ Freeze (EZ-11) will sell for $1399.00 on today’s sale marketplace. Both are considered a small propane refrigerator.

With the proper care and maintenance, Danby refrigerators are a great asset to any off-grid vacation home, hunting camp, or full-time off-grid home. One of the major drawbacks to the Danby Consul fridge is the small freezer size. The 1.1 cubic foot capacity is only large enough for two frozen chickens and a couple of ice trays. The newer EZ Freeze EZ-11 freezer compartment measures out at 2.2 cubic feet, which is moderate for a cabin-size fridge. 

The Danby Consul fridge has been an industry-leading cabin-size fridge for many years, but with them being discontinued, the choices have narrowed to the 11 cubic foot size. Cost is slightly higher, but the gain in capacity and much less maintenance headache are well worth the price.
