Emerson Excessive Condensation / Poor Ventilation

Microwave cavity fills with condensation or moisture; water drips from door or vents.

Possible Causes

Blocked or inadequate venting, Cooking high-moisture foods without venting, Faulty exhaust fan, Cold ambient conditions causing condensation

Safe practices:

Use the exhaust fan when cooking high-moisture foods, especially on over-the-range Emerson models.
After cooking, leave the door slightly open to allow moisture to escape.

Ventilation check:

Ensure external vents and filters are clean and not blocked.
Verify that the installation follows Emerson’s clearance and venting requirements.

Persistent heavy condensation may indicate a weak exhaust fan or installation issue that should be evaluated by a technician or installer.
