The BEII is not the best choice for the danby as it is a plug in contoller and not a wired in unit. The danby will kick on when the BE tells it to but will revert to the higher initial temp setting. But it can be done. It would be best to buy a standard cord 3 prong plug with no connector at the other end, just the black, white and green bare wires at the other end. It would be best to do this at the compressor. Find the red wire coming down from the control board and cut it before it goes into the overload protector. Cap the red wire going to the control board. Take the black wire from the new cord and splice it to the red wire going into the overload protector. Next you need to cut the white wire in the danby near where it comes in from it's power cord. Take these 2 ends and the white wire from the new cord and splice them all together. Put a ring terminal on the green wire on the new cord and screw it with existing green wire where it's screwed to the frame. Plug the danby back into the wall outlet and the dispaly will turn on but the compressor won't because you've rerouted the red wire to the new cord. Plug the new cord into the BEII out plug then plug in the BEII, set the temp, enjoy cold beer. You will have to leave the original danby cord plugged in to power the temp display but it is what it is with this type of controller. But there's no defrost cycle either.
