Condensation or moisture on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet or around the door gaskets.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before inspecting electrical heaters or wiring.

Steps:

• 1. Check door seals: Inspect gaskets for gaps and perform the paper test. Replace damaged gaskets.
• 2. Door usage: Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings, especially in humid weather.
• 3. Mullion heater: Some Ikea models have a heater in the door frame to prevent condensation. If the frame is cold and sweating, the heater circuit may be off or failed. Check the user settings for an energy-saving mode that disables the heater and adjust if needed.
• 4. Room humidity: Use a dehumidifier in very humid environments to reduce condensation.

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