Possible Causes
Damaged door gasket, door not closing fully, high humidity environment, insulation voids
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before gasket replacement.
- Check gasket seal: Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull; if it slides out easily, the seal is weak in that area.
- Clean gasket: Remove dirt and residue from the gasket and mating surfaces.
- Adjust door: Tighten hinges and adjust if the door is sagging.
- Replace gasket: Install a new OEM Maytag door gasket if the old one is cracked or deformed.
- Control humidity: Use a dehumidifier in very humid rooms to reduce condensation.
