Possible Causes
Cooking high-moisture foods without ventilation, Damaged door/basket seal, Blocked steam vents, Cold ambient temperature causing condensation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Moisture near electrical controls can be hazardous. Unplug the unit if you see water entering the control area.
Steps to manage condensation:
- Improve ventilation: Use the air fryer in a well-ventilated area and avoid placing it directly under cabinets where steam can condense and drip back.
- Check basket seal: Inspect the front edge of the drawer for any silicone or rubber seals that may be damaged or missing. Replace if necessary.
- Clean steam vents: Ensure any top or rear vents are not blocked by grease or debris.
- Dry the unit: If moisture has entered the control panel, unplug and allow the unit to dry thoroughly before reuse.
Some condensation is normal with high-moisture foods, but persistent water near controls should be addressed.
