Possible Causes
Blocked condensation channels, Damaged door gasket, Excessive steam from cooking without ventilation, Poor installation blocking vents
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
User-level checks:
- Wipe down the interior and door after heavy steam cooking (e.g., boiling water, vegetables).
- Check the door gasket and inner door surface for damage or gaps; clean off grease and debris.
- Ensure the microwave vents are not blocked and that there is adequate clearance around the unit.
- On built-in models, verify that the trim kit and ventilation are installed according to Hoover instructions.
Next steps:
- If water continues to pool excessively or leak from the cabinet, the internal condensation channels or seals may be compromised and require technician service.
