There is a drain tube with a perforated plug in the end of it. If water was in the tube, it would drain out of the perforations.
It would when the trap fills. The trap should be always filled with water.
While it is BEST to loop the drain tube I have found that 99% of OEM installs NEVER make the loop or P trap. AND, that has never caused an operational problem even here in Texas with 100 degree heat right now. The plastic plug end is enough to keep hot air from migrating up. The temps the OP has has NOTHING to do with
1. Drain Tube
2. Thermister placement
3. 4 hours is not correct. BOTH Norcold and Dometic will state 24 hours to check for correct cooling.
4. The reason I asked him to use a bottom fan was to help the Service Center diagnosis the problem. IF the extra fan allowed correct cooling, then the Dometic installed fan system is not working.
5. You make the assumption(wrong) that only slide out or side door upper and lower vent doors require an extra/optional fan. It all depends on the Model of the Refer and the install of the refer. In an A/S, the roof vent is NOT directly above the bottom like on a non curved roof, and the Convection air needs extra help to push the hot air out the top. Doug
