Condensation forming on the outside of a Sub-Zero door is usually a sign the door heater — a small anti-condensation element built into many models — has failed or isn’t running.

Door and seal issues are some of the most owner-checkable Sub-Zero problems — a dollar-bill test around the gasket tells you a lot before you even call anyone.
Condensation forming on the outside of a Sub-Zero door is usually a sign the door heater — a small anti-condensation element built into many models — has failed or isn’t running. The most common cause is a failed anti-condensation door heater.
It’s a separately replaceable part, but getting the exact model-matched gasket and installing it without leaving gaps is worth having a technician handle.
Not usually an emergency, but the longer it goes unaddressed, the more it affects energy use and can contribute to frost or cooling issues.
It catches most gasket seal issues, but a door that's out of alignment for other reasons may still fail even with an intact gasket.
