Possible Causes
Exhaust vent too closed, cooking with very high humidity, door gasket not sealing at top, control panel not properly sealed to cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep water away from live electrical parts.
- Adjust vent: Open the exhaust vent more to allow moisture to escape.
- Check door seal at top: Inspect the upper section of the door gasket for gaps. Replace if it does not seal.
- Seal control panel: Ensure the control panel screws are tight and any factory gaskets are in place. Replace missing gaskets or apply a thin bead of high-temp silicone around the panel edges (avoiding vents).
- Wipe condensation: During long cooks, periodically wipe away condensation from the door and panel to prevent drips into electronics.
