  Extreme condensation in your Hoshizaki Refrigerator can stem from several causes. The cabinet thermistor might be loose or improperly installed, so ensure it's securely in place and correctly installed. The refrigerator door may not be shutting completely due to a defective gasket or misaligned hinges; adjust the door gasket or hinges as needed. The location of the refrigerator could be inadequate, so consider relocating the appliance. High relative humidity (over 75%) in the environment can also contribute to condensation; try to reduce the humidity levels in the room.

Start by checking the power supply—ensure it's properly plugged in, switched on, and that no fuses are blown or circuit breakers tripped. Especially on three-section receptacle boxes, confirm that the top receptacles are powered. Also, inspect all power connections and cord connections for looseness. If the power supply isn't within the correct specifications, make sure it is. Furthermore, the control module might be in alarm, in which case you should reset it, or it could be defective, requiring replacement.
