[LG refrigerator - dew] [4-door refrigerator with water purifier] Condensation forms on the door gasket of the fridge compartment.

Troubleshooting

The cold air gasket in the fridge compartment of the 4-door refrigerator with water purifier is a passage for cold air to make ice in the ice maker.
As cold air passes to make ice, the door gasket remains cold on its surface.
When you open and close the door, warm outside air will mix with the air inside the refrigerator and then any moisture in the air may condense around the door gasket of the fridge compartment.
This is similar to the condensation forming on the surface of a cold glass in the heat of summer.
You may see condensation forming inside the refrigerator mainly on hot and wet days.
Particularly when the refrigerator is installed near a window in an area such as a veranda, moisture from outside may enter the veranda through the window and easily form condensation around the door gasket.
Placing hot foods in the refrigerator before they cool sufficiently may help form condensation form around the cold air sealing (gasket) of the fridge compartment.
This problem may also occur when food stored in containers leaks through openings in the containers while they are in the refrigerator.

Causes and Symptoms

  • Condensation forms on the surface of the exterior of the refrigerator.
  • Condensation formed around the door gasket.

Try this

In the course of making and preserving ice, the cold air gasket becomes colder and condensation may form around it.
This is the same as the condensation which forms on the inner side of a cold window in winter.
When condensation forms, you can simply wipe it off with a dry towel.
This often occurs on hot and humid summer days.
Gently wipe any condensation away and continue to use your refrigerator.
Cool hot foods before you put them into the refrigerator.
Ensure that watery or liquid foods are kept in tightly sealed containers.
