Possible Causes
High-moisture foods and covered containers, Blocked vents, Faulty or weak exhaust fan (over-the-range models), Cool room temperature causing condensation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use caution when wiping hot surfaces.
- Normal vs abnormal: Some condensation is normal, especially when cooking high-moisture foods. It should dissipate after a short time.
- Ventilation: Ensure vents are not blocked and, for over-the-range units, that the exhaust fan is operating correctly.
- Wipe dry: After cooking, open the door and wipe down moisture. Leave the door ajar to allow drying.
- Next step: If heavy condensation persists and drips from the door or control panel, check installation and fan operation. Persistent moisture can damage electronics; consult a technician if needed.
