Possible Causes

Damaged or dirty door gasket, High ambient humidity around the unit, Door frequently opened, Door heater (if equipped) not functioning

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal electrical work is usually required, but unplug the unit if removing door components.

Steps to reduce condensation:

  • Clean gasket and glass: Wipe the door gasket and glass with a mild detergent solution to remove dirt and improve sealing.
  • Inspect gasket condition: Look for cracks, tears, or areas where the gasket does not contact the cabinet. Replace the gasket if necessary.
  • Check installation location: Avoid placing the wine cooler near sources of steam or high humidity (e.g., dishwashers, cooktops).
  • Door heater check (if present): Some SMEG models have a low-wattage heater around the door frame. If condensation is severe and persistent, the heater circuit may have failed and should be checked by a technician.

Tip: Brief condensation during very humid weather can be normal; focus on persistent or heavy moisture.
