Water on floor under fridge

[mike.t]

I suggest you take it to someone that knows what they are doing. Fix it and enjoy it.

We are on our 1st trip of the season. Even with the shut off valve off it still leaks. Shutting off the cold water to bathroom sink has stopped the leak until it can be repaired. I never thought I would use the individual shut off valves but this time very handy.

I'm not sure if you have the same refrigerator but here is my suggestion to check.
Check that the plastic drip tray at the back of the refrigerator wall bellows the fins ha snot moved forward. It happens and when the fins drip the water flows into the bottom of the refrigerator instead of the drain line to the outside.
Here is a picture of my Dometic 4 door refrigerator.

On my 2011 the shutoff valve is under the kitchen sink. I had a similar leak it turned out to be the brass ferrel that goes in the tube and creates a seal was damaged at the solenoid. I have the bath and half so I don't know if your valve is in the same location. The solenoid has the foil tape wrapped around it. I added a shutoff valve near the solenoid. You access the solenoid from the outside lower vent. Hope this helps.

Last year at the rally, they reconnected your drain hose to the portion that runs down the back of the fridge & out the bottom of your coach. Is it still connected?

We had a little engine trouble en-route yesterday & our coach is in the shop.

We're hoping to get it back today (don't know what time), but will see you & the Big 'K' today or tomorrow.


From,

That Handsome Devil that was parked beside you at the rally Last year.

Ceedog was wondering what happened to you guys. Hope you get everything fixed.

No joy. The pulley on the alternator seized up & took out the tension pulley & belt. FL won't have all of the parts until Saturday.

C U & K at Chestnut Lake.:cryi ng:

It seems like quite a few people are having this or the compressor seizing happen. It makes me nervous.

As accumak said, seems like this is a common issue. Superchief had a similar problem about a month ago. Took Freightliner a few days to get his parts also. He has about 50k miles on his coach.

Ceedog, how many miles on your coach?

[Dbt803]

Ceedog you will be missed. Glad it happened close to home. We just had work at fl that included having a belt replaced. I have 27000 miles.

Seems like others have had similar problems. I thought I was special.

You guys have to Catch up. We have 30,195 after our trip out west.

If your Dometic is like mine, it has a plastic tray beneath the fins inside the fridge. This tray connects to a hose that runs through the back wall and out to drain. Check it out, inside and from the outside by removing the outside panel. Those fins condense the warm humid air when you open the doors.

Ceedog may have trouble catching up but the goal is to add as many miles as possible.

I-RV everything seems in place but cannot find the leak. I didn't have a list for the rally but now I do. Lol Thanks everyone for the suggestions and looking forward to seeing many at the rally.

I have a Forest River 2019 Grandlodge, the fridge has leaked water for about 10 months! I have been trying to get it fixed for 9 months, keep getting the run-a-round from everyone! I am just fed up with all of them, has anybody tried sewing Forest River and got anywhere! We even bought the extended warranty, what a joke! We like the trailer but they took no pride in assembly it, I can’t believe how bad some of the work was done, I could have done better if I was blind! 😡

Hate to say this but you will probably be told it is a negligence problem on your part. Sorry I have to be so blunt but this is the exact reason we're here to help. Being a member here since August 2019 with only 2 posts and you have had the problem for 10 months and never tried to investigate the cause. Asking on the forum when you first noticed the problem would have been a great help to you. Even asking fellow RV'er or neighbor at a campground may have led you to a fix and would be better than ignoring it. Even looking at the fridges owners manual could have led you to the cause and remedy.


There are owners manuals and service manuals in the forums Library section and the appliance manufactures website.

I don’t even no what to say, your post was more or less a dig at me! I thought you people were here to help! You really don’t no the complete story behind the fridge leaking water! I ask a question on if anybody had sewed Forest River for them not owning up to there warranty! I did not ask for a lecture on something I no nothing about! Your post is just ridiculous, please don’t contact me again!

OK, so first you must understand that the fridge was not made by Forest River so they have nothing to do with appliances... which is why you got a manual for that particular appliance which does include an appliance mfg warranty, the name of the fridge mfg and a support phone number. Calling FR, or the seller will get you nowhere fast.

Second, what kind of fridge? Brand, model? or are we supposed to guess?

Where is the water leaking to? the floor? the interior of the fridge?

If you calm down and let the good people on this forum help by answering some questions ( we are not employed by FR and are here to TRY to help you) then maybe we can get somewhere. Don't vent your frustrations out on this forum... you will get nowhere.

No, I don't know why the fridge was leaking. You don't say what brand or model it is. As far as we know the drain hose could have been coiled behind it or it may have been disconnected. If you have an ice maker the supply hose may have been leaking. Or the outside vent panel could have been installed upside down allowing rain water intrusion. I will guarantee you that if you had posted about the problem back when it started another member would have been able to steer you in the right direction.


When you come to the forums talking about suing don't expect to get much sympathy from members. That kind of talk is best kept between you and your lawyer. Read the Posting Rules.
