Possible Causes

Normal moisture from cooking, blocked oven vents, door seal not seating correctly, using foil to cover vents

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Condensation itself is not dangerous but can affect electronics over time.

  • Check vents: Locate the oven vent outlets (often at the rear or top front). Ensure they are not blocked by foil, pans, or cabinetry.
  • Door seal: Inspect the seal for gaps that may cause steam to escape onto the control panel. Replace if damaged.
  • Use lids: Cover moist foods with lids or foil to reduce steam.
  • Ventilate kitchen: Use an extractor fan or open a window during heavy cooking.
