2016 Forester, refrigerator drain hose

Does anyone know where the refrigerator drain hose is located with the Dometic 4-door refer? Ours seems to have an issue that is preventing it from draining outside. It is draining on the floor somewhere but I can't find where the hose should be discharging.
NOTE: this happens when the refer goes into the auto defrost cycle.

Bikermha, ours has a hose that is secured to the top of the vented outside access panel opening and drains through the slots of the vented panel.

Speaking of that, can anyone tell me where is the refrigerator ice maker water connection is, so for winterizing I can pull that off at the low end and drain it without pulling the refrigerator from the inside. Thanks.

Most of the time, the drain hose sticks out through the vent holes of the outside refrigerator vent panel.
It usually sticks out a couple inches to allow room to remove the vent. (when needed)
It is this way on my current 4 door Dometic and all but one other unit we owned where it actually had a hose that went all the way to the underneath of the rig but that was 25+ years ago for that one.

I'd bet yours is tucked up in behind the vent and draining on the refrigerator mounting floor and running inside.

Here's an image of where the drain tube comes out the back of the refrigerator and is to run down and out the vent (once installed)

This photo is an internet snag and the drain hose is broken but you'll get a understanding regardless. it's the white corrugated hose on the right side of the photo.

That may be the trick then, Gary. Thanks. I've never found it.
