Check that the drain from the drip pan is stopped up. This allows warm air to run into the fridge part.
' Stopped up'..... what does this mean??
1. IF stopped up NO air can go up and water cannot drain off
2. Norcolds have a CHECK valve on the end of the drain tube, so air cannot migrate back up. Also, Air migration will only happen in transit if the drain tube is open to the air. Doug
'Stopped up' ............ does this mean line is plugged and water cannot drain, or stopped up means this is normal so that warm ambient air should not be allowed to enter??
'Stopped up' means ambient air should not be allowed to travel upwards, OR ambient air should travel upwards??
Water should be allowed to drain, but ambient air not allowed to travel up line??
Though scoring 100% on the ASVAB mechsnical, This is getting beyond my comprehension.....
Are we talking about one single solitary line that drains water, but allows ambient air to migrate towards refer, please clarify 'stopped up'..... now I'm exhausted - lol!!
