Possible Causes

Missing or misaligned steam deflector, Blocked condensate channel, Excessive steam due to gasket leak, Operating under low kitchen ventilation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Avoid letting water enter the control panel; unplug before cleaning.

  • 1. Check steam deflector: Some Toshiba models include a plastic deflector near the steam vent. Ensure it is installed and oriented correctly.
  • 2. Clean condensate path: Clear any blockages in the condensate channel and collector so water is directed away from the panel.
  • 3. Inspect gasket and vent: Fix any gasket leaks or vent issues that cause excessive side steam.
  • 4. Improve room ventilation: Use the cooker under a range hood or near an open window to reduce condensation.

Do not cover the control panel with cloth while cooking; this can trap moisture and heat.
