Possible Causes

High-moisture foods without venting, Blocked vents, Poor room ventilation, Damaged cavity coating encouraging condensation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Condensation itself is not dangerous but can lead to rust if not managed.

Steps:

  • 1. Wipe dry: After cooking, wipe down the interior surfaces with a dry cloth.
  • 2. Leave door ajar: Leave the door slightly open for a few minutes after use to allow moisture to escape.
  • 3. Check vents: Ensure external vents are not blocked and the microwave has adequate clearance.
  • 4. Use covers: Cover high-moisture foods with a microwave-safe lid or cover to reduce steam.
