Microwave leaks water or condensation from the door area or underneath after cooking.

Possible Causes
Excessive condensation not wiped away, Blocked condensation channels, Damaged door seal, Cracked cavity or inner liner
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before inspecting underneath or behind it.
- Step 1 – Identify source: Determine if the liquid is water/condensation or food/grease from spills.
- Step 2 – Clean thoroughly: Wipe the interior, door, and underside of the door with a cloth after cooking to remove moisture.
- Step 3 – Check door seal and frame: Inspect for gaps, tears, or deformation that could allow steam to escape and condense externally.
- Step 4 – Inspect condensation channels (advanced): Some models have channels or holes to direct condensation; ensure they are not blocked with grease or debris.
- Step 5 – Professional inspection: If you suspect a crack in the cavity or inner liner, stop using the microwave and have it inspected by a technician.
Note: Small amounts of water around the door after heavy steaming are common but should be wiped away to prevent damage.
