Condensation or fogging on the glass door

Possible Causes

High room humidity, Door gasket leaking warm air, Frequent door openings, Failed door heater (on some models)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal electrical work is usually required, but unplug if removing trims.

  • Check ambient conditions: High humidity rooms will cause more condensation. Use a dehumidifier or improve ventilation.
  • Inspect door gasket: Look for gaps between the gasket and cabinet. Close the door on a sheet of paper; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak in that area.
  • Clean gasket and glass: Wipe with warm soapy water to remove dirt that may prevent sealing.
  • Replace gasket if necessary: Install a genuine Hotpoint door gasket if the original is warped or cracked.
  • Limit door openings: Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings to minimize moisture entry.
