Norcold 1200 - Leaking Water Catch Pan/Trough

We have the white Catch Pan/Trough below the fins of the fridge. It was pulled out for cleaning, and dang if the little back 'male' pipe will get back into 'female' tube ending. Or if it is, it's not tight enough to make a tight seal.

Any tips? Figured some of you creative types may have improved upon this before!!

TIA,
Smitty

  • Should be a clamp on the rubber tube. Have to squeeze it open while pushing unit into the tube. Unless yours is different, that is how mine fastens. Not a fun job. Be careful not to break the plastic unit (don't ask how I know). Or, sometimes the tube gets in a bind and won't drain. That's a whole other problem. Good luck!
  • Replace the tube. Not being Smart*** but that's about all you can do. Just use a piece of gas line.
