How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before inspecting electrical heaters.
Steps to reduce condensation:
- 1. Improve room ventilation: Use an extractor fan or dehumidifier if the kitchen is very humid.
- 2. Check door seals: Ensure gaskets are sealing properly. Replace if damaged.
- 3. Avoid prolonged door openings: Minimize the time doors are open to reduce warm, moist air entering.
- 4. Anti-condensation heater: Some models have a heater around the door frame. If condensation is severe and persistent, a failed heater or control may be the cause and should be checked by a technician.
