Looked at mine this morning and on either side of the window there is two lil plugs, one of mine had come off. Maybe worth a look? Not sure if its fixed it as its not clouded up this morn

This is on my job list too.  If you've got some lines working but not others (as with mine) its prob splits in the element. Apparently you can fix this by painting it with silver circuit paint to "rejoin" the broken bits on the element:

nice find!!!!

looks useful for other stuff too..........
