Possible Causes

Poor door seal allowing moist air in, High ambient humidity, Failed anti-condensation heater around door frame (on some models), Blocked ventilation around cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator if you will be removing trim or panels.

  • Step 1 – Check door seals: Inspect gaskets for gaps and perform the paper test. Replace damaged gaskets.
  • Step 2 – Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the fridge and that warm air can escape from the rear and top.
  • Step 3 – Ambient conditions: In very humid environments, some condensation is normal. Use the built-in anti-condensation switch if your SMEG model has one.
  • Step 4 – Mullion heater: On models with heated door frames, a failed heater can cause condensation. This typically requires professional diagnosis and replacement.
