Possible Causes

Blocked condensation channels, Poor ventilation, Overcooking high-moisture foods without cover, Damaged door gasket or seal surfaces

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before cleaning around electrical areas.

Steps:

  • Wipe down the interior cavity after heavy use, especially after steaming foods.
  • Ensure the vents are not blocked and that the unit has proper clearance.
  • Inspect the door seal surfaces for damage or buildup; clean thoroughly.
  • Use lids or covers on high-moisture foods to reduce steam.

If water appears to be leaking from inside the cabinet or control area, discontinue use and have a technician inspect for internal condensation path blockages or seal failures.
