Possible Causes

High moisture cooking without venting, Blocked vents, Failed cavity fan, Damaged door gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Condensation itself is not usually dangerous, but ensure no water drips into electrical areas.

  • Ventilation: Use the vent fan on OTR models when cooking high-moisture foods. Ensure external vents are not blocked.
  • Wipe interior: After cooking, wipe down the interior and door with a dry cloth to remove moisture.
  • Check door seal: Inspect the door gasket and choke cover for gaps or damage that may allow steam to escape improperly.
  • Service if persistent: If heavy condensation persists and drips from the door or control area, have a technician check the cavity fan and door sealing.
