Does anyone else have a built in microwave?

This is our first winter in our new house and our first winter with a built in microwave. Seems like when it's real cold, water drips from the top of it (like from the vents) into the microwave . . . and now it's started dripping from the bottom onto the stovetop.

It's almost like it's condensation building up in the exhaust, which makes sense to me . . . but it's such a hassle.

Anyone else have problems like this???

Christa, I have a built in microwave but it's never dripped before. I'll be anxious to hear from some others about this. I'm wondering if this is something I should be looking out for too. I hope it's nothing to worry about. That would be pretty irritating for sure.

We've had built-in microwaves nearly my entire life, and nothing like that has EVER happened before!!

We have a built-in microwave, and we use it daily! Never had a single drip...!
I remember hearing our electrician say that he needed some extra space above the microwave for the ventilation!
I think you'd better have this checked, it is NOT normal at all :eek:

We've had a built-in microwave that doubles as the exhaust vent for the stove for almost 20 years now. Never a drip at all. I'm worried about the safety of yours. :(
