Possible Causes
Damaged door gasket, High humidity and frequent door openings, Mullion heater not operating, Doors not closing fully
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before adjusting doors or working near electrical heaters.
Steps to reduce condensation:
- 1. Inspect and clean gaskets: Wipe gaskets with warm soapy water and check for tears or gaps. Replace door gasket if damaged.
- 2. Ensure proper closure: Adjust leveling so doors self‑close and are not held open by food items.
- 3. Mullion heater setting: Some models have an energy saver switch that turns the mullion heater off. If condensation is heavy, turn the energy saver OFF so the heater runs.
- 4. Mullion heater failure: If condensation persists and the mullion feels cold, the heater strip may have failed and require replacement by a technician.
