If you notice condensation forming inside your refrigerator, it can be both annoying and a potential threat to your food. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth, unpleasant odors, and even damage to food packaging. At Capital Appliance Repair Winnipeg, we help homeowners identify the causes of fridge condensation and provide solutions to restore your refrigerator’s performance.
When condensation forms in a refrigerator, you may notice water droplets on shelves, drawers, or walls, moisture pooling at the bottom, or frost forming inside the compartment. It can also cause unpleasant smells or musty odors, and make food packaging damp or soggy. If left unaddressed, this condensation can lead to spoiled food and potential damage to your appliance. Below are common causes of condensation in your fridge.
If the fridge temperature is too warm or inconsistent, humidity inside can condense on surfaces. Most refrigerators should be kept around 37 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal performance.
Opening the fridge door often or leaving it open for extended periods allows warm, humid air to enter. This moisture can condense inside the fridge.
Damaged or misaligned door gaskets allow warm air to seep in, causing condensation to form inside the fridge.
Most refrigerators have a drain to remove condensation. If this drain becomes clogged or blocked, water can accumulate and create excessive moisture inside the fridge.
A kitchen with high humidity can contribute to condensation inside the fridge, especially if the door is opened frequently or the fridge is not sealed properly.
If the internal fan or air vents are not circulating air properly, cold and warm zones can form, leading to excess moisture and condensation inside the refrigerator.
If adjusting temperature settings or checking seals does not solve the problem, professional fridge repair is recommended.
