How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before cleaning around electrical areas.

Condensation management:

  • After cooking high-moisture foods, leave the door slightly open to allow steam to escape.
  • Wipe down the interior and door with a dry cloth after heavy steam use.
  • Check for blocked drain or condensation channels (if present) and clear gently.

Door seal inspection:

  • Inspect the door gasket for cracks, gaps, or hardening.
  • Clean the gasket and mating surfaces with mild detergent and water.
  • If the gasket is damaged, have it replaced with the correct Candy part.

Installation: Ensure the microwave has adequate ventilation space as per the manual to reduce condensation buildup.
