Possible Causes

Compromised door glass perimeter seal, Micro-cracks in glass unit, High humidity infiltrating between panes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working on the door. Handle glass carefully to avoid breakage.

Steps to address:

  • 1. Confirm condensation location: Verify that moisture is between the glass panes, not just on the interior or exterior surface.
  • 2. Inspect door frame: Look for damage to the door frame or glass perimeter that could have broken the seal.
  • 3. Replace door assembly: The insulated glass unit is typically not serviceable. Replace the entire door assembly or glass pack with a Viking OEM part.

Note: Continued use is generally safe, but insulation performance is reduced and energy use may increase until the door is replaced.
