Here’s how you can combat sweating observed inside or outside the crisper tray, chiller tray or the inside walls of the refrigerator:
- Hot and humid weather conditions increase the rate of frost build-up and internal sweating which is normal in the given conditions.
- In case the door has been left slightly open/opened too often, it may cause warm air to enter the refrigerator leading to sweating. Ensure the door is closed properly and avoid opening it frequently.
- Vegetables and other contents in the refrigerator also emit a certain amount of moisture.
- Washed vegetables or fruits placed in the fridge emit moisture and keeping them in the crisper tray allows them to dry off.
- Lack of cold air circulation inside the refrigerator caused due to overloading/covering the liner shelves can cause sweating.
- Placing hot foodstuff into the refrigerator directly without letting it cool down first leads to evaporation loss.
- If the refrigerator is overloaded or liner shelves are covered then it prevents air circulation in the fridge.
- Food left uncovered leads to sweating due to evaporation.
