How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before removing the door. Glass edges can be sharp; wear gloves.
Steps:
- Confirm condensation location: Wipe the inner and outer surfaces. If fog remains between panes, the sealed glass unit has failed.
- Inspect door frame: Check for cracks or damage around the glass perimeter.
- Replace door assembly or glass unit: Most EdgeStar models require replacing the entire door assembly or insulated glass unit. Order the correct part for your model and transfer hinges and gasket as needed.
Note: The failed seal cannot be effectively repaired in place; replacement is the long-term solution.
