Microwave leaks water or condensation onto the countertop or inside the cabinet (built-in models).
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before inspecting around the cabinet.
Checks:
- Inspect the door gasket area for damage or gaps.
- Ensure the unit is level so condensation drains correctly.
- Clean any visible drainage channels or weep holes (if present) with a soft brush.
If water appears to come from inside the cabinet or behind panels, internal inspection is needed to check for cavity cracks or blocked channels, which should be done by a technician.
