Possible Causes

High room humidity, Door gasket leaking warm moist air, Anti-sweat heater or warm loop not functioning properly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Condensation itself is not dangerous, but water on the floor can cause slips.

Steps:

  • Reduce humidity: Use a dehumidifier in the room or improve ventilation.
  • Check door gasket: Inspect for gaps and replace if necessary to reduce warm air infiltration.
  • Verify temperature setting: Extremely low settings can increase condensation; adjust to recommended levels.
  • Inspect warm loop: Some Magic Chef freezers use a warm loop around the door frame. If the sides are unusually cool and condensation is heavy, the loop may not be heating due to sealed system issues, which require a technician.
