AEG micro-combi oven has big condensation problems. The glass on the oven door clouds over and drips of water can be seen on the glass. Water also drips out on both sides of the oven at times formin

All internal cabinetry has been sealed. Oven has been replaced by AEG, but the problem persists with second oven.

    Sorry, i posted this in answers but want to know what you have done since this post? Hi, we have recently purchased the AEG micro combi oven also and have already had it replaced for this exact reason. It is extremely disappointing considering the money we have spent. It is like a rain forest with so much condensation. Infact, now we even avoid using it because it is just unpleasant to even put something in there to micowave. I find the answer ridiculous...who turns on an oven before using it as a microwave??? Isnt the whole point of a microwave is its convenience? We have nearly had a fire also with using the mirowave function to pop popcorn in the ready made packs. Yes we used the desired watts as described on the pack however, it just proceeded to burn the package. I am so disappointed as we have installed AEG products in our previous house...never again! Jo

    If you carefully read to the end of my post says:
    PS. This applies to the traditional way of baking.
    My wish was to explain when and why condensation occurs on tradidional way of baking. Condensation occurs in the same manner in microwave oven. On the market there are various ovens with a lot of programs (for example microvave, with and without a grill, combi ... that means programs that combines the traditional way of baking and microwaves) because is therefore the simplest explain condensation in traditional oven. And finally, in a post not specified whether condensation has occurred with the traditional way of baking or microwave cooking. As a user and a customer I understand your dissatisfaction.

Condensation inside the oven comes mainly when the temperature is below 100 Celsius, and this phenomenon is evident in almost all manufacturers. That means, the condensation starts at the beginning and at end of baking. My advice is the same as many manufacturers recommend: Before baking, preheat the oven to min. 100 Celsius and after that place the food in the oven. Reverse the procedure in the "cool down" phase before the temperature drops below 100 ° C and remove the food from the oven.
After that condensation should be drastically reduced.
Condensation could be technically solved but it would be too expensive for manufacturers (more parts inside oven) as well as for customers also (too expensive appliance and lost energy).

SOURCE: warping in door window

> Probably two separate problems.

I think you're correct, unless it was arcing while cooking.

The warping is not a problem until and unless moisture can get rapped and damage the fine metal mesh / screen inside the door panels.

The lack of heat with a loud noise is usually a shorted high voltage diode or failing magnetron. I would of course focus on getting it to work before I tackled the door trouble.

If you or someone you know wants to look into this, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

Assuming yours is a GE JEB1095 as per your posting category, there should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel, which is very helpful when troubleshooting.

Here are some links you or someone you know can use for test help, but read their safety warnings first:

SOURCE: inside front of oven door is a water build-up

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

Normally you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.

Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.

SOURCE: Neff Combined oven and microwave

If there's no obvious removable cover over the bulb (and the owner's manual doesn't address it) some disassembly may be required.

Always unplug a microwave before removing or installing any bulbs.

If it's an over the range type, remove the vent grille across the top and see if bulbs can be accessed there. There may be a panel on the bottom covering the light(s), instead.

If not, chances are you'll have to remove it from the wall, then remove the outer cover. If so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

Once it's out of the wall, the outer cover (wrapper) will need to be removed, just as you'll need to do on a counter top model.

On a counter top model, be sure it's unplugged, but otherwise ignore the instructions above this paragraph.

The screws you need to remove should be pretty obvious, but a special driver (such as a T20H type or GTXH20-100) may be needed.

Be sure to put all the screws back in the right holes, since some may be special grounding screws.

Bulbs can be had in most grocery stores, hardware stores, home improvement centers, and big box or department stores.

Many models use halogen lamps. You must not touch the new one with your bare skin, as the oils will shorten the bulb life.

SOURCE: Micro oven-Not working

Hello Kavithaanto,
If I understand your problem correctly, it sounds as if your microwave was operating and the egg exploded after 5 minutes ( which caused the door to open), after cleaning up the mess, you tried it again and it does not work. If that is true, then there is a high probability that your microwave has a damaged Magnetron Tube, Filament Transformer or High Voltage Capacitor.. none of which are something the untrained person should attempt to repair. Since your microwave is a table top model, I recommend that you consider purchasing a new one. The cost to repair would exceed the cost to replace so it is not worth it. I am sorry that I couldn't provide a more encouraging solution.
Best Regards,
Rick

Neff combi oven - Cuts out after replacing glass in door Neff C67M70N3GB

I have two thoughts, both guesswork based on knowledge gained by researching answers here on Fixya.

If you removed the door completely, the safety microswitches need re-adjusting. The door and hinges usually has three or sometimes 4 to make it impossible to use the oven with the door open.

Or, modern ovens have a safety catch under the glass edges that won't allow the oven to work if there is NO glass on the inside, or no glass on the outside. In other words, there must be 2 (or 3) panes of glass to stop children, old folks and pets getting burned by door glass that is the same temperature as a oven.

The final possibility is that the microwave failing is coincidental and not related to the door glass being replaced!

Clouding between glass on when cooking onHigh is it OK

Yes, It's perfectly fine. It's just some water vapor getting in between the glass. Once you're done cooking You can leave the door open for a bit to allow the vapor to escape, or just ignore the non-problem

There are condensation, water drips between the glass on the door of my over the counter microwave/convection oven. Is this a problem? How can I clean this? Microwave is only 6 months old.

HELLO.

Yes.Water can only drip between the glass on the door when the door do not seal properly due to dirt on the microwave door.follow these steps given below to clean the door.

1. Unplug the microwave from the electrical outlet to prevent electrocution. Place the microwave in a well-lit area to be able to locate the fuse.

2. Use a screwdriver to remove the outer cabinet of the microwave, and follow the power cord to the fuse. The fuse is located 2 to 3 inches within the microwave and is attached to the power board.

3. Observe the fuse to determine if it is blown. Blown glass fuses will produce burn marks on nearby surfaces, or the internal fuse wire will be black and melted, while ceramic fuses show no outward appearance of being blown.

4. Determine if a ceramic fuse is blown by testing it with an ohmmeter. If the ohmmeter reads zero ohms, your fuse is not blown. Other readings on the ohmmeter show that your fuse is blown.

5. Replace the blown fuse by popping it out of its holder, and snapping a new fuse in its place. Tighten the fuse clips by squeezing them together with your fingers.

6. Replace the outer cabinet of the microwave, and plug the microwave back into the electrical outlet. Test the microwave to see if it's working properly.

Thanks.

MICRO WAVE DOOR FOGS UP WHEN USING IS THAT NORMAL

A Microwave Oven works by heating water/moisture in food: if the boiling action (e.g. when boiling water) is greater than the oven exhaust fan can cope with, then the inside will steam up and fog the door glass: this is usually OK and 'normal' (this is actual the advise in cleaning up the interior of a microwave oven - steamy soapy water - see your manual).

Hope it helps.

Food still cold after cooking

Is this a combi oven? If it is not-and only a micro then there is no heating element. Try it on micro(if its a combi) with a mug of water for approx 30 seconds to test it. If its a combi-is the micro function still working?

Water has penetrated inside the door

Any water in between the glass and the door should evaporate eventually.
I wouldn't advise trying to open any seams in the door or removing the glass to get the water out as that would permanently damage your microwave.

Your models manual talks about steam/water condensation that gets trapped between the door and the glass and what to expect:
