Possible Causes

Blocked condensation channels, Excessive steam from cooking without ventilation, Damaged door seal, Poor installation causing moisture buildup

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before cleaning.

  • Wipe interior dry: After heavy steaming foods, wipe the cavity and door with a dry cloth.
  • Inspect door seal: Check the rubber gasket around the door for gaps, tears, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
  • Clean condensation paths: Some Telefunken models have small channels or holes for moisture drainage; ensure they are not blocked by grease or debris.
  • Improve ventilation: Use the unit's exhaust fan (if over-the-range) and ensure the room is well ventilated.
