Possible Causes

Blocked oven vent, Normal steam from high-moisture cooking, Faulty door seal allowing steam to escape incorrectly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Surfaces may be hot; use caution.

  • Check vent outlet: Locate the oven vent (often above the door or at the rear) and ensure it is not blocked by cabinetry or foil.
  • Inspect door seal: Replace a damaged or flattened door gasket to improve sealing and direct steam through the designed vent path.
  • Use proper cookware: Cover high-moisture dishes where possible to reduce steam release.

Some condensation is normal, but persistent water accumulation on controls may indicate a venting or seal issue that should be corrected.
