SAFETY: Unplug before removing any panels. Water itself is not usually dangerous, but avoid letting it reach electrical parts.

  • Step 1 – Normal condensation:
    • Some moisture on the door and cavity is normal; wipe dry after use.
  • Step 2 – Door and gasket:
    • Inspect the door seal for damage or gaps.
    • Clean the seal and door frame to ensure proper contact.
  • Step 3 – Drain channels:
    • Check for small drainage or condensation channels around the door frame and clean any blockages.
  • Step 4 – Ventilation:
    • Ensure adequate space around the microwave to allow moisture to dissipate.
