How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before inspecting seals. Water near electrical parts can be hazardous.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Identify source: Determine if the liquid is water/condensation or food/liquid spill.
  • 2. Inspect door gasket: Check the rubber or plastic seal around the door for cracks, tears, or flattening.
  • 3. Clean channels: Wipe around the door frame and lower edge where condensation may collect. Clear any debris.
  • 4. Adjust placement: Ensure the microwave is level so water drains correctly.
  • 5. Replace gasket: If the seal is damaged, replace the door gasket or door assembly.
