Possible Causes
High moisture content in food, Blocked or restricted vents, Failed or weak cavity fan, Poor room ventilation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Condensation itself is not dangerous, but standing water should be wiped up to prevent corrosion.
- Use covers: Cover high-moisture foods with a microwave-safe lid or wrap to reduce steam.
- Ventilation: Ensure Viking microwave vents are not blocked and that the exhaust fan (on over-the-range models) is operating.
- Run fan after cooking: Leave the door slightly open and run the exhaust fan for a few minutes after heavy steaming.
- Check cavity fan: If condensation is excessive and persistent, have the internal cavity fan checked for proper operation.
