Condensation forms heavily on the oven door and drips onto the floor during cooking.

Possible Causes
Blocked vent channels, door seal not seating correctly, cooking with high moisture and low ventilation, missing vent trim
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Surfaces may be hot; use caution when inspecting during or after cooking.
- Check vent outlets: Locate the oven's steam vent (often at the top of the door or control panel) and ensure it is not blocked by foil, trim, or grease.
- Inspect door seal and glass: Ensure the seal is intact and the door glass is correctly seated, allowing steam to vent as designed.
- Use correct cookware: Avoid covering entire shelves with foil, which traps moisture. Use trays that allow airflow.
- Ventilate kitchen: Use an extractor hood or open a window to reduce condensation build-up.
