A minimum amount of condensation is normal, especially during higher humidity conditions. If you live in a humid area, it is normal for you refrigerator to have a certain amount of condensation on the freezer or refrigerator. Warm & humid room air causes moisture to build-up when it comes into contact with cold surfaces eg. your refridgerator, especially when the doors are frequently opened. Avoid excess moisture buildup by minimizing door openings.

Improper sealing of the gaskets on the refrigerator or freezer doors could also cause condensation to form. Check the seal around the outside doors and the freezer door to make sure there is nothing obstructing the gasket seal.

If condensation continues, adjust the temperature control.
