How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Be cautious of hot steam when opening the door.
- Wipe down: After cooking, wipe moisture from the interior and door with a soft cloth.
- Improve ventilation: For over-the-range models, ensure the exhaust fan and ducting are correctly installed and not blocked.
- Use covers: Cover high-moisture foods with microwave-safe lids or vented wraps to reduce steam.
- Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket and frame for gaps or warping. If the door does not seal evenly, hinge or door adjustments or replacement may be needed.
