Condensation forms on Samsung microwave door

Condensation forms on the outside of the microwave

Condensation forming on the outside of the microwave comes from outside of the microwave. This is most common with over-the-range microwaves when cooking or boiling water on the cooktop below it. Some of this condensation may get inside the microwave as well, or between the door and the glass. Using lids on your cookware will reduce this type of condensation, and running the hood vent while cooking will help as well.
