To avoid humidity build-up, try to get everything you need
out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is
removed. (When the door is opened, humidity from the
room air enters the refrigerator. The more often the door
is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when
the room itself is very humid.)
It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator
when the room air is humid.
