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.
