Frig. drain hose ???

The drain hose is slowly falling apart, I guess from the heat and it should have been a thicker hose to start. I can't see where the hose connects to the frig from the outside access panel, short of pulling the entire frig out to replace it with a new hose any ideas ? Thanks

  • I had to pull the frig. You might be able to get to it thru the vents outside. Look inside your frig for a small cup or tray that catches the condensate. The hose connects to that tray on the back of the frig.
  • I found this suggestion on another forum...might work, but I can't vouch for it...
    If it does, please post back and let us know how it went..

    What I did on my Dometic Ref was to get a section of vinyl tubing that was large enough to fit over the existing drain tube. I slipped it up and over the old tube as far as it would go. It did the trick and the water is draining as it should thru the tube and not into the compartment. I only had to make a larger opening in the vent cover for the new tune to exit.
