Refrigerator, White Fluid Draining

[ottislynn]

I have a 2016 Rockwood Ultralite 5th wheel. On my last trip I noticed a white fluid draining from the refrigerator condensation drain hose. I cleaned it with soap and water. Can you tell what this might be and how to stop the problem?

Anything draining from the hose came from inside the refrigerator. Did you spill something that was white?

X2. First thing I thought was spilt milk

[ottislynn]

To my knowledge, nothing was spilled. Soap and water during cleanup prior to storage was all.

Soap and water can look milky white maybe that is all it was. Anything that comes out of that drain came from inside the actual refrigerator. Can't really be anything else.

It drains that tray directly below the fins.

We had the same problem for a year, and there were no spills in the frig. Nothing. Whatever was in the hose was causing a milky drip. I cleaned the frig and it didn't help. I even posted in the forum, and no solution. It stained the wheel cover and fiberglass where it dripped. It seems to be getting better. I hope it goes away this year.

That is interesting. Have you tried flushing the tube?

[MCTroy]

Suggestions on how to do that? I thought about our but couldn't figure out what to use or how to funnel it into the tube unless I poured something in the tray in the frig. We are going out goes away this camping season as it was better late last year.

I would do just that. Pour water in the tray and make sure it is draining good. Then flush with more water, a bit of cleaner if needed.
