Condensation or moisture forming on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet or around door seals

Safety: No internal electrical work is typically needed, but unplug the unit if removing panels.

Steps to reduce condensation:

• 1. Clean gaskets: Wipe door seals with warm soapy water to remove grease and dirt that prevent proper sealing.
• 2. Check for gaps: Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull it out. If it slides easily, the seal is weak in that area. Adjust hinges or replace gasket.
• 3. Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate space around the fridge for air circulation.
• 4. Limit door openings: In very humid climates, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
• 5. Heater check (if applicable): Some models have anti-condensation heaters. If condensation is severe around the door frame, a technician may need to test the heater circuit.

Note: Light condensation can be normal in humid conditions, but persistent water droplets indicate a sealing issue.
