Wet Floor

I have a Dometic Royale refridgerator in my coach. There is some wetness in floor in front of the fridge. I opened the outside panel and I can see some wet areas on the floor under the fridge. I can't find the source though. I don't see anything leaking, the drain line and ice maker lines appear intact. I checked the cabinets on either side of the fridge and no wetness. Any ideas?
  • Thanks for the help. It's definitely the ice maker.
  • Oops. Just realized the ice maker is on. Solenoid is suspect.
  • Thanks. I checked the drain tube, it's dry and so is the tray - it only has a few drops in it. I snaked out the drain tube with a guitar string from both ends, it didn't seem clogged. The ice maker is turned off. I'm stumped.
  • We had that problem. The drain tube from the fridge was intact, but clogged. When I squeezed at the bottom of the tube and released the clog, it drained for like 2 minutes. Carpet in front of fridge dried up overnight and been dry ever since.

    Inlet valve/solenoid/fittings etc. unfortunately getting to them may require pulling fridge out of cabinet.

    The only other water would be from fridge section drain pan/line but would mean fins are really frosting up and dripping constantly.
    I haven't had this trouble Old Biscuit, but it's way I had my water to the ice maker disconnected.

  • Could be the ice maker solenoid leaking when calling for water to fill the tray. Good luck Larry
