Leak

2021 Epro 20BHS, Magic Chef refrigerator leaking. The panel under fridge was the indicator the compressed panel now expanded. But still can't find the water! When rv not in use the fridge is cleaned and left open. Never seen any real condensation or anything else for that matter.. I don't know where to begin to look. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Also rv tires, should they be balanced or not balanced? Thanks

Moved thread from the General Community Discussion section to the Flagstaff sub-forum since the OP's questions are specific to a Flagstaff product and not general questions.

Is that an LP fridge? If so there are outside vents, if it is not in a slide 1 vent in the wall and one vent on the roof. I would start with the roof vent/cover

Pretty sure that 2021 Magic Chef fridges are 12v only.

It’s a 22 volt. 4.9 cubic inch top mount. Magic Chef. No where in the diagrams of the unit do I see an overflow valve or drain.

I think you meant 12 volt, not 22 volt.

It probably doesn't have an overflow drain. There will be an internal pan on or near the compressor where condensation collects and in normal operation the compressor produces enough heat to evaporate the condensation. This doesn't always work, however, if you have been running the unit in extreme humidity and turn it off. It can overflow when shut down, particularly if the unit is no longer level. I am pretty sure I have seen this problem talked about in earlier posts.
