Possible Causes

Blocked condensation channels, Excessive steam from cooking, Damaged door seal, Poor installation causing moisture pooling

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • 1. Wipe and observe: Clean up existing moisture and run the microwave with a cup of water for several minutes. Observe where new moisture appears.
  • 2. Check door seal: Inspect the rubber or plastic door gasket for cuts, gaps, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
  • 3. Clean vents and channels: Some models have small channels or holes for condensation drainage. Clean these gently with a soft brush or cloth.
  • 4. Adjust installation: Ensure the microwave is level so that condensation does not pool at one corner and leak out.

Note that some condensation around the door is normal, but pooling water indicates a problem that should be corrected.
