Steam escaping excessively from door or vent during operation

Safety first: Avoid placing face or hands near escaping steam. Turn off power if steam is excessive.

• 1. Inspect door gasket: Replace if compressed or damaged, especially near the top where steam escapes.
• 2. Check vent flap: Ensure the vent mechanism opens and closes freely and is not blocked by grease.
• 3. Verify temperature control: If steam is unusually hot or prolonged, have the temperature sensors and thermostats checked.
• 4. Installation clearance: Confirm that there is adequate clearance above and around the dishwasher for steam to dissipate.
