Possible Causes

Door mullion heater off or failed, High room humidity, Poor door seal around ice compartment, Insulation void in door

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing door wiring.

  • Check door seals: Inspect gaskets around the ice door and main door for gaps. Replace if damaged.
  • Enable door heater (if option exists): Some LG models have an energy saver switch that turns door heaters off. Turn this feature off (i.e., enable heaters) in humid environments.
  • Reduce humidity: Use a dehumidifier or air conditioning to lower room humidity.
  • Technician evaluation: If sweating is severe and persistent, the door insulation or heater circuit may be compromised and the door assembly may need replacement.
