LG Refrigerator - Why is White Steam Visible in My LG Refrigerator?

  • Repair

At a Glance

The white steam/fog/mist that appears when you open the refrigerator door is a perfectly normal phenomenon.
Due to the high temperature/humidity, hot air in the fridge’s surrounding environment meets the cold air inside the refrigerator, which causes a temperature difference resulting in water condensation which is seen as white steam/fog/mist.

Ambient temperature 31℃, Ambient humidity 82%

The white steam/fog/mist is usually more visible in relatively cold freezers, and particularly occurs more often during a humid summer season, while it is not frequently seen in dry weather.
If the refrigerator is near a cooking appliance, the temperature differences can cause white steam to appear.
If it is freezing well, rest assured as it is not a product defect.
