Possible Causes

High moisture foods, blocked vents, poor room ventilation, worn door gasket or poor door seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Condensation itself is not dangerous but can lead to corrosion or electrical issues if excessive.

Steps:

  • 1. Wipe down: After cooking, wipe moisture from the cavity walls and door with a dry cloth.
  • 2. Ventilate: Leave the door open for a few minutes after use to allow moisture to escape.
  • 3. Check vents: Ensure external vents are not blocked and the room is well ventilated.
  • 4. Door seal: Inspect the door gasket and sealing surfaces for damage or warping. Replace if the seal is compromised.
