Why are there water drops on the door after steam cooking?

Moisture can condense on cooler surfaces during a steam programme. The location, amount and timing distinguish expected condensation from an unusual leak.

What the observation means

Drops inside the cavity after a permitted steam cycle are different from water reaching controls, cabinetry or electrical surroundings. Do not wipe hot glass or reach into escaping steam. Allow the cooling and drying process described in the manual.

A useful next step

Record whether moisture remains inside the designed collection area or escapes elsewhere. Clean and dry owner-accessible surfaces only as instructed. Persistent water outside the intended area needs assessment; do not seal vents or add towels around the appliance to hide it.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
