Possible Causes

High moisture content in food, Blocked exhaust vents, Faulty or weak vent fan, Cold ambient temperature causing condensation, Door gasket not sealing evenly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: This is usually not dangerous but can lead to rust or odor if not managed.

  • Ventilation: Ensure the exhaust vents are not blocked and that the vent fan operates correctly during cooking.
  • Wipe dry: After cooking, open the door and wipe down moisture from the cavity and door glass.
  • Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket and sealing surfaces for gaps or damage. Replace the door gasket or door assembly if sealing is poor.
  • Use shorter bursts: For very moist foods, cook in shorter intervals and allow steam to escape between cycles.
