How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Condensation can cause slippery floors; wipe up water promptly.

Steps:

  • Check door gasket: Inspect the door gasket for cracks or deformation. Close a sheet of paper in the door at various points; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak.
  • Reduce door openings: Limit how often and how long the door is opened, especially in humid environments.
  • Improve room conditions: Use a dehumidifier in very humid rooms or relocate the cooler to a drier area.
  • Replace gasket if needed: Install a new door gasket and warm it gently with a hair dryer to help it conform to the frame.
