    I've done some searches and read that several people have this problem, but I never found a solid solution for it. The small freezer portion of my mini fridge condensates a great deal. I've had to leave a small towel in there and change it out daily. Sucks! Eventually I'm going to need the room as well.

    Any suggestions?

    I fought the same battle with my large wine fridge. I was resigned to simply wipe it up every now and then; especially in summer.

    I've dealt with the same thing with my mini fridge. I tinkered with the temperature until I got it to a point where I dont get condensation. Unfortunately, I have to age my beers at 48-50 degrees

    Pretty common problem. I used Damp Rid for awhile, but it's bulky and takes up space for not working that well.

    Do you open it a lot?

    I forgot I started this thread.

    I don't open it very often, no. I think I'll try that dehumidifier.
