Possible Causes
Blocked oven vent, Failed cooling fan, Poor door seal, Excessive moisture from cooking without ventilation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before inspecting vents and seals.
Steps to reduce condensation:
- Check oven vent outlet: Locate the oven vent (often at the top of the door or rear of the cooktop area) and ensure it is not blocked by foil, pans, or grease buildup. Clean as needed.
- Verify cooling fan operation: Make sure the cooling fan runs during and after cooking. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
- Inspect door gasket: Replace a flattened or damaged gasket to improve sealing and airflow control.
- Use proper ventilation: When cooking high-moisture foods, use a range hood or open a window to reduce humidity in the kitchen.
- Wipe down surfaces: After cooking, wipe condensation from the door and control panel to prevent long-term damage.
