How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety Warning: Moisture itself is not usually dangerous, but water near electrical components can be. Unplug the unit before cleaning around vents.
Steps:
- Wipe down the door, gasket, and cavity after heavy steaming cycles.
- Ensure that vent openings are not blocked by cabinets or objects.
- Inspect the door gasket/seal for tears, gaps, or deformation; replace if damaged.
- Use shorter cooking intervals with rest periods to reduce condensation buildup.
Some condensation is normal, especially with high-moisture foods, but persistent leaking onto electronics or cabinetry should be evaluated by a technician.
