will be a metal strip just inside the door at the front

Dave

that is an odd noise

sounds too quick to be the drum so i would check the motor , take belt off and spin motor and see if motor bearings are noisy

does it make it when there is no weight in it ?

Dave

[electrofix]

well take the outer door off and see if you still get steam

not a complete test as you have no weight but worth trying

Dave

give or take a couple of mm out of true is not going to cause this. the only thing that can is if the door is out of true

if you lower one of the legs, say the left front , as the unit comes down it will make the door aperture twist and the top of the door moves to the right

so totally level is not a problem but totally square is

but left side more in than the right wont make any difference. gone to a few where i had to twist the unit slightly to stop the door hitting a draw handle or something

Dave

[electrofix]

that was the reason i asked did the door close straight and not move a little left or right as it closes as front leg adjustment can twist the case but out of line left to right wont matter if the door is square to the frame

the video you posted needs a public link for us to see

also check the wiring loom as it leaves the bottom of the door for broken wires

Dave

[electrofix]

well the fact you cant get spares and the fact newer unit are far more efficient it makes sense

the plastic runners are part of how the outer door connects to the freezer door

from the look of the photo yours does not have them

if it has runners the outer door is hinged to the cabinet and the fridge door has its own hinges but it looks like your doors maybe using the fridge door hinge for both

have you cleaned the moisture detector inside ?

if it has a timed programme does that run ?

Dave

[electrofix]

they do have vents to stop pressure build up but a manufacturer would not allow a product to get moisture somewhere it would damage a surface like a kitchen unit door. Such things lead to law suits

Dave

[electrofix]

well apart from , if its condensation it will form more on colder surfaces

Dave

[electrofix]

as you close the door. just before it closes does it move to the left or right before it closes

the door should close cleanly to make sure the seals hit the door straight

you could also play around with a mirror to see if any see if any steam is coming out and at what stage

dave

[electrofix]

you have an outer wooden door to make the unit fit in with the kitchen

make sure the dishwasher door closes properly. we get situation where the above door hits something and holds the dishwashers door open slightly. often with granite work surfaces where there is sometimes a piece of wood supporting the surface.
you could try the unit with the outer door removed to see if it still happens

the NTC is pin 3 and 4 on the connector
