How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Handle glass carefully to avoid breakage and injury.

Steps:

  • Confirm issue: If condensation is between the panes and cannot be wiped off from inside or outside, the sealed glass unit has failed.
  • Inspect door frame: Check for cracks or gaps around the glass where the seal may have failed.
  • Replace door assembly or glass: Many Kenmore models require replacing the entire door assembly or insulated glass unit. Order the correct part by model number.
  • Install new door: Transfer hinges and handle to the new door if needed, ensuring proper alignment and gasket seal.
