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.
