Microwave Door Glass Is Foggy

Heat causes the panes to expand and contract and it softens and weakens the seals until they develop a crack in their armor and allow moist air in.

Microwave door glass is foggy.

The seal on the microwave door glass is compromised and allowing moisture and perhaps the microwaves to enter between the windows inner and outer. Microwaves are dangerous appliance to work on. Wipe the moisture off with a paper towel or soft cloth. Remedy this issue by leaving the microwave door open for several minutes until the water evaporates completely.

The fogginess may come and go depending on weather conditions. Eventually a seal will allow moisture to enter the window. This is the simplest fix to the problem but it will only be temporary. Step 1 combine 2 cups water 2 cups white vinegar and 5 drops dish soap in a spray bottle.

The window in the door has become cloudy to the point of my having difficulty seeing inside the over when it is on. It allows moisture into the area between the panes. It develops when you boil water or heat food with a high moisture content on the stove top below the microwave. The condensation gets between the two layers of door glass and condenses inside this make viewing the cooking food almost impossible.

Use the vent fan to help prevent moisture from building up. Old age fig. As a result moisture in the infiltrating air can condense when conditions are right colder outer glass against warm air inside the glass panel causing the glass to develop the hazy fogginess that most everyone has seen. This occurred if using just the microwave or just the convection or both together.

This microwave has a major flaw in that it fogs up very quickly across the door viewing window. I just installed a new kenmore elite advantium 120 microwave in oct of 2007. Anybody know of any fixes. Even the most elastic flexible seal can t last forever.

I would not continue to operate this oven until i have it fixed. There is a great potential for leakage here. If moisture is noticed between the glass allow the microwave door to stand open for approximately 15 minutes to accelerate the dissipation of the moisture. The main problem with a foggy sliding glass door is that the gasket is no longer sealed.

Therefore you will need to start out by drilling a hole in the gasket for the moisture to escape.
