Thank you so much for this, glad I found your post. You just saved me an awful lot of money on replacements.

If anyone is having issues with condensation I saw there's an actual spec for the gasket seal and how it should look. 1/4" visible, no creases. You may want to dry them out, possibly re-solder any broken connections, and re-install after checking the seal.
