Ventilation / Moisture Management Issue
Excessive condensation or water droplets forming on oven door and control panel during cooking
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Blocked oven vents, Damaged door seal, Cooling fan not running, High-moisture cooking without ventilation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Surfaces may be hot; allow cooling before touching vents.
- Check vents: Locate the oven's steam outlet (often at the top of the door or rear). Ensure it is not blocked by foil, trays, or cabinet trim.
- Inspect door seal: Replace if it is not sealing properly, allowing steam to escape onto the glass.
- Verify cooling fan: Ensure the cooling fan operates during cooking (see F05). Replace if not running.
- Use extractor: When cooking high-moisture foods, use a kitchen extractor fan or open a window to reduce condensation.
