Neff U1661. There is a small amount of water collects in cupboard under large oven when top small oven is on. Unable to find out where it might be coming from. Only on right side.
Re: Neff Cooker
This sounds like you have a damp kitchen and the warmed, high -humidity air surrounding the small oven, is chilling and condensing on the larger, colder oven.
you could,- improve air-circulation
keep the whole kitchen warmer
cure the high-humidity problem (buy a dehumidifier)
live with it!.An electric appliance doesn’t “make” water , a cooker is not normally connected to a water supply, so unless you have a nearby pipe leaking, it’s atmospheric condensation.
Re: Neff Cooker
Thanks for your reply. The kitchen is not damp. I wondered if it was condensation but what puzzles me is why it is only on one side all the time. As you say will have to live with it.
Re: Neff Cooker
guess the air is circulating up one side and down the other 🙂
try altering the airflow by removing obstructions/altering panels/ plinth sections
by a process of elimination, you should be able to limit it.
Though your kitchen may not “feel” damp, it’s the RELATIVE humidity which matters….warmer the air, the more moisture it holds (sauna? )
as the temp. drops, surplus water precipitates outside, we call it “rain” 😆
Inside, it’s usually a case of warm, humid air striking a colder surface,which chills the air below it’s dew-point and you get condensation.
here endeth the lesson! 8)
