Microwave leaks water or condensation onto the worktop or inside the cabinet after use.

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.
