It sounds like the refrigerator may have a drip pan or drain line that allows it to drain condensation. If the drain line is plugged then you will have dripping inside of the fridge. Or the end of the drain line has somehow come loose and is not draining to the outside but the inside of your refrigerator. Sometimes there are little plastic fittings on the end of the drain hose that may pop off if there's too much water pressure causing it to leak inside of the refrigerator as well. If it has the drip pan then it could be cracked.

If you let me know what brand of refrigerator it is I can help you further.

I have a Norcold refrigerator unit. Does it have a pan?. I havea very small leak but haven't pulled the unit yet

@Vernie Yes, most Norcold refrigerators have a removable pan. What model do you have?

Model #WD282-FWDC Everchill. Dripping inside refrigerator. Where is the drain tube located outside

@Carolyn The drain tube is located inside the fridge. You will need to remove the grate located on the back of the refrigerator. Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get this comment right away!

@Heather does the refrigerator pull out?so I can get to the grate?

@Carolyn Yes, Carolyn, since your Everchill WD-282FWDC doesn’t have an exterior access panel, you’ll need to slide the refrigerator out of the cabinet far enough to access the back of the unit. The drain tube is behind the lower rear cover and runs down toward the drain pan. I’d disconnect power to the refrigerator before pulling it out, and just be careful of the wiring as you slide it forward.

@Noah I believe you are referring to a Dometic fridge. What is going on with it? I am happy to help.

My GE RV fridge is leaking water onthe floor. Help

@SteveW Sorry for the late reply, we had some issues with getting these comments sent to us. There could be a few reasons why your GE RV Fridge is leaking. The most common issue is the drain pan being cracked. The exact location of your drip pan is determined by the model and age of your refrigerator. Unfortunately if it's newer than a 1987, the pan may not be removable so the fridge would need to be serviced. Another reason it could be leaking is the drain tube is broken. Normally those drain tubes become brittle over time. There are a lot of videos online about finding the drain tube and replacing it. We do not have any videos available for that process at this time but I would give it a quick google search!

The model no. WD-282FWDC-BS you have comes up as the Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer - 10.7 Cu Ft - 12V - Stainless Steel #324-000119 so that most likely is the case. Typically if a fridge is leaking water it is either that the door gasket is…
