Interesting that it takes that long to see a change on the display. I was going to add a pot to mine and try to dial in on the display against a known measured temperature but your findings suggests that won't work. Or at least it will take a bit of trial and error to get it to match.
I took some vacation a week or so ago (use it or lose it) and intended to diagram the control board to see what it would take to get rid of the defrost cycle or at least make it not occur as often. I was also going to tie the output for the fan high all the time and use it to move air to the tower but I drank dunkleweizen instead.
One thing that you will find you can do now that you have an external temp control is set the Danby control to the highest setting and let the fan run pretty much all the time except for the time it wants to defrost.
