Michael,

Which Danby in what sort of space?

We "inherited" a full-size Danby propane fridge when we bought our 
small (800sq ft) off-grid homestead. It has a dedicated CO detector 
to shut the fridge down if the CO level becomes in any way 
significant. In addition to this we have one of the best CO detectors 
on the market.
 
When we first moved in, the former was shutting the fridge off 
regularly and the latter was pinging and beeping and bleating half 
the time. (It has a display that shows ppm; AFAIR the alarm kicks in 
at about 5 but I wouldn't swear to that.)

After I cleaned the burner and the wee helical "turbulance increasor" 
in the heat exchanger portion of the exhaust pipe, both detectors 
settled down and haven't made a peep since. In fact the fancy 
detector has never shown anything but zero.

Just FYI, FWIW. YMMV.

Regards,
Scott Willing
