Condensate Drain for Dometic Refrigerator
As many are aware the older Dometic refrigerators (mine is a 07 model) use a drain hose that after a few years disintegrates. Most of the postings that I have seen involve either removing the catch basin inside the refrigerator or pulling the entire unit out of the wall.
I found that with a little wiggling, I could reach the barb connector from the catch basin by reaching up through the outside access panel. I used a large butcher knife to cut the zip tie holding the old hose and removed it. I purchased about 3 1/2 feet of 1/2 inch ID, 5/8 OD vinyl at lowes and it pushed easily but securly over the barb. I fastened it with a compression clamp -- although I don't think it was necessary.
