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.
