Possible Causes
Normal condensation from high-moisture cooking, Damaged door gasket, Loose inner door glass, Blocked vent channels
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Glass surfaces can be hot; allow cooling before disassembly.
- Step 1 – Determine normal vs abnormal: Some condensation on the inner glass is normal, especially with high-moisture foods. Heavy dripping or water between glass panes is not.
- Step 2 – Inspect gasket: Check the door gasket for gaps or tears. Replace if damaged.
- Step 3 – Clean vents: Ensure the oven's vent slots (often at the top of the door or control panel) are not blocked.
- Step 4 – Door glass seals: If moisture is trapped between glass panes, the door may need to be disassembled and the inner glass seals replaced. This is best done by a technician to avoid breaking the glass.
Note: Avoid covering racks completely with foil; this traps moisture and heat.
