Possible Causes
Failed door glass gasket or seal, Loose inner door panel screws, Excessive steam from cooking
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven and door are completely cool before disassembling.
- Check exterior: Light condensation during cooking can be normal, but persistent moisture between panes indicates a seal issue.
- Door disassembly: Remove the door from the oven (per manual) and lay it on a padded surface. Remove screws around the perimeter to separate inner and outer panels.
- Dry and clean: Carefully clean and dry the glass panes. Inspect the glass gaskets and spacers for damage or gaps.
- Replace seals: Replace any damaged glass gaskets or seals with OEM American Range parts. Reassemble the door, tightening screws evenly.
Note: Avoid using high-pressure water or steam cleaners on the door glass.
