Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the door to cool before handling. Glass edges can be sharp.
- 1. Check vent slots: Inspect the top of the door and control panel area for small vent openings. Clean any grease or debris blocking them.
- 2. Dry out moisture: Operate the oven at a low temperature (e.g., 100–120°C) with the door slightly ajar for 20–30 minutes to help evaporate trapped moisture.
- 3. Inspect door assembly: If condensation persists or water marks appear between panes, the door glass seal may be compromised.
- 4. Replace door glass assembly: Remove the door and disassemble according to the Panasonic service manual. Replace the full glass pack or inner/outer glass with new sealed units.
