Possible Causes

Blocked oven vent, Misaligned door seal, High-moisture cooking without adequate ventilation, Cooling fan not operating correctly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Surfaces may be hot; allow cooling before touching vents.

  • 1. Check oven vent: Locate the oven vent outlet (often above the door or at the rear). Ensure it is not blocked by foil, pans, or cabinetry trim.
  • 2. Inspect door seal: Look for gaps or damage in the gasket that may alter airflow. Replace if worn.
  • 3. Cooling fan operation: Confirm that the cooling fan runs during and after cooking. If not, investigate the fan motor and control as described in fan-related faults.
  • 4. Use proper cookware: Cover high-moisture dishes and avoid blocking airflow with oversized trays.

Some condensation is normal, but persistent heavy moisture may indicate a ventilation or sealing problem.
