Possible Causes

Door gasket not sealing, Door opened frequently in humid environment, Ventilation issues around cabinet, Defective door frame heater (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting door or gasket if you need to remove trim.

  • 1. Check door seal: Close a thin piece of paper in the door at various points. If it pulls out easily, the gasket is not sealing. Adjust hinges or replace gasket.
  • 2. Reduce door openings: Minimize how often and how long the door is open, especially in humid weather.
  • 3. Improve room ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the cooler to reduce external humidity buildup.
  • 4. Inspect frame heater (if present): Some models have a low-wattage heater around the door frame. If the glass is sweating excessively, have a technician test and replace the frame heater if faulty.
