My dometic refrigerator in my 2018 heartland trail runner travel trailer is leaking water from the bottom. How can I fix it so it doesn’t mess up my wood floors?

Helpful Expert Reply:
If your refrigerator is leaking water from the bottom then you likely have a frozen or clogged drain tube. You'll need to disconnect the power to the fridge and open the doors to let it defrost. From there you'll need to get to the back of the fridge to get access to the drain line. There should most likely be a vent on the outside of the trailer that you can pop off to get access to the back of the fridge to find the drain line. You'll want to put some towels out to soak up any water that defrosts. After letting the fridge fully defrost you can then use a pipe cleaner to ensure there isn't anything else stuck in the line and then plug the fridge back in.
