Possible Causes

Blocked condensation channels, Damaged door gasket, Excessive steam from cooking, Poor ventilation around unit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before cleaning around electrical areas.

  • Step 1 – Wipe moisture: After cooking, wipe condensation from the door, frame, and cavity. Leaving moisture can cause drips.
  • Step 2 – Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket and inner door frame for cracks, gaps, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
  • Step 3 – Clear drainage paths: Some OBH Nordica models have small channels or holes to direct condensation. Clean these gently with a soft brush or cotton swab.
  • Step 4 – Improve ventilation: Ensure the microwave has adequate clearance and that vents are not blocked, which can increase condensation.
  • Step 5 – Usage tips: Cover high-moisture foods with a microwave-safe lid or wrap to reduce steam.
