Possible Causes
Normal moisture from high-humidity cooking, Blocked oven vents, Poor kitchen ventilation, Door gasket leaks causing cool air infiltration
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Moisture itself is not dangerous, but can affect electronics over time.
- Check vents: Ensure that oven vents are not blocked by cookware, foil, or cabinet trim. Clear any obstructions.
- Use ventilation: Run a range hood or open a window during high-moisture cooking (roasting, covered dishes) to reduce condensation.
- Inspect gasket: Replace a damaged oven door gasket to prevent cool room air from entering and condensing on hot surfaces.
- Dry interior: After cooking, leave the door slightly ajar once the oven is off and safe to touch to allow moisture to escape.
Some condensation is normal, but persistent heavy moisture may warrant checking for vent blockages or gasket issues.
