Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation, Cooking high‑moisture foods without venting, Damaged door seal, Poor kitchen ventilation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Condensation itself is not dangerous, but standing water can cause corrosion over time.

  • Step 1 – Wipe interior: After cooking, wipe down the cavity and door with a dry cloth to remove moisture.
  • Step 2 – Improve ventilation: Ensure the microwave vents are not blocked and that the kitchen is well ventilated.
  • Step 3 – Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket for damage or gaps that could allow steam to condense excessively on the door.
  • Step 4 – Avoid over‑covering: When covering food, leave a small gap for steam to escape rather than sealing containers completely.

Note: Some condensation is normal, especially when cooking high‑moisture foods; persistent heavy condensation may indicate ventilation issues.
