Forgive me if this has been addressed before. We've been having some water build-up in the refrigerator tray. It usually occured when we moved. No big deal. Lately, it's been happening a lot while we're parked. So, I did some looking around here on RV.Net and found the suggestion that the drainage hose might be blocked. Guess what? Ours was plugged shut (with a plug!) Two years and who knew?
You don't suppose the plug is supposed to be there?
The plug is supposed to be there. It has a hole in the end of it. It's purpose is to prevent warm air & moisture from being drawn into the refrigerator. If you get water or ice in the tray in the refrigerator, remove the plug & clean it with a sewing needle & put it back in. If the problem continues, pour a small amount of water with a couple of drops of bleach in it into the tray in the refigerator after you've cleaned the plug & the bleach will kill the mold that is stopping up the plug.
