Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working around the door hinge or wiring. Glass doors are heavy; support them properly if removing.
Step 1 – Confirm condensation
- Check for fogging or water droplets on the door glass, especially in humid conditions.
- If EC35 is present and condensation is excessive, the glass heater may not be working.
Step 2 – Inspect hinge wiring
- At the top or bottom hinge, locate the wiring harness that feeds the door.
- Inspect for pinched, broken, or frayed wires.
Step 3 – Door heater testing
- Testing the glass heater typically requires resistance measurements and access to door connectors.
- If the heater is open (no continuity), the door glass assembly usually must be replaced.
Step 4 – Control board
- If the heater and wiring are intact, the control board’s heater output may be faulty and require replacement by a technician.
