Possible Causes
High room humidity, Worn or damaged door gasket, Door not closing fully, Failed door heater (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal electrical work is typically required; unplug only if adjusting door or gasket near wiring.
Steps:
- Check room conditions: High humidity environments will naturally cause more condensation. Use a dehumidifier if possible.
- Inspect gasket: Look for gaps between the gasket and cabinet. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape to improve the seal.
- Adjust door alignment: Tighten or adjust hinges so the door closes squarely.
- Door heater (if present): Some models have a low-wattage heater around the frame. If condensation is severe and persistent, a failed heater or control may be the cause and should be checked by a technician.
