Water accumulates on fridge floor

[kenandterry]

Our Dometic refrigerator is working fine considering the extreme heat and humidity we’re having in the North East of the continent, like a lot of people.
It’s been running on electricity and propane when dry camping. The freezer and refrigerator are still maintaining their respective inside temperatures according to our mini thermometers. Great news considering how often we’ve been opening the door and reaching for cold stuff.

We’re just noticing an unusual amount of water accumulation on the floor of the refrigerator itself. I’m guessing it’s normal given the extreme humidity and temps lately, and we just need to quickly remove stuff, and towel dry the excess, and carry on camping!

Comments?

Do you have an icemaker that might be leaking?
Do you have a defrost tube that might be clogged?

If the answers are no, then I think your explanation is the correct one. Condensation is a problem in high heat and humidity.

Are you sure that the drain hose from the Freezer is attached. If it is defrosting some, water is suppose to drain through the hose to out side. Later RJD

I would be checking the door seals

and do you have kids? If yes get a recording or a sign
"Close the Blinking door"

Check the drip tray below the fins in the fridg section and make sure it is pushed all the way against the back wall. Mine did that and the drip tray was about a half inch away from the back wall. Pushed it back in place and it fixed mine.

Also, assuming you are set up pretty level. If you are off level too much water from the fins might be accumulating away from the drip tray drain hole.

Replying to everyone here so far……

We have no ice maker.
The drain tube from the freezer is attached, has bug screen on and is dry.
The freezer back wall has ice build up……normal given our conditions.
No kids…..just adults that act like kids.

We’ll be home in a week, and after we unload, unplug the fridge, dry it out etc., I’ll closely inspect the door seals and clean them so they’re soft as possible to seal their best.

Thanks all. Carry on camping.

I noticed that play in the condensate drip tray as well, you beat me to it. I run a dehumidifier in my trailer as long as I have shore power, I have to dump the tank everyday down South (30 pint unit).

We have the same issue with our refrigerator in our Mirada. Our solution is the same: remove the bottom drawer and soak up the excess water with a towel. A little annoying, but we've lived with it.

This indicates to me the condensation from the fins that drips on the tray is not draining. On days with the humidity we're having right now I'd expect to see water drops at the end of the hose.

Got a circulating fan inside the refrig?

I put one of these fan units in mine a couple years ago. No more, or very little icing and the fridge cools much better. You can run 1,2 or all three fans and it has a light.
