Advertisements
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.
