Possible Causes
High moisture foods, blocked vents, poor room ventilation, worn door gasket, or poor door seal.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Condensation itself is not dangerous, but it can lead to corrosion or electrical issues if excessive.
Steps:
- 1. Wipe down: After cooking, wipe moisture from the cavity walls and door with a dry cloth.
- 2. Ventilate: Leave the door open for a few minutes after use to allow moisture to escape.
- 3. Check vents: Ensure external vents are not blocked and the room is well ventilated.
- 4. Door seal: Inspect the door gasket and sealing surfaces for damage or warping. Replace if the seal is compromised.
