Norcold 2118 water drip?
So recently we noticed a slight musty smell when the kitchen exhaust fan was running. I traced it to the bottom left corner of the fridge. I removed the bottom trim strip that snaps off and can see just a little water on the bottom left of fridge through the exposed holes.
Fridge works great holding 6-8 degrees in freezer & 30 in the fridge.
Drain hose is connected and draining to the back side drip pan as it should.
Water is not leaking out from inside of the fridge.
I do have the dual fans on the fridge coils.
Fridge was defrosted last week and leak seemed to have stopped until I checked again today.
It seems like condensation to me as I cannot find another explanation.
Does anyone have any ideas on a fix? Right now I'm thinking of pulling the unit out to inspect it better. How big of a hassle is pulling a fridge and reinstalling it?
Thanks for your thoughts.Pam & Ed

Hi was wondering if you found a solution to your problem. I have a ‘21 Reflection 303RLS, Norcold 4 door with the exact issue. Not leaking from inside the fridge or from fin condensation pan/drain tube. Leaking directly under left side and even causing the wood there to swell!

Could be the drip pan in the back overflowing, could be a poor door seal and forced defrosting (tty the dollar bill gasket test)...but my money is in the stupid drip pan.
Mine doesn't seat well and if it gets bumped it's an issue.

Did anyone ever figure out where the water was coming from?
The trim at the bottom of mine started to swell so I took the Refrigerator out. I was going to do it anyway to check the wring for the latest recall and the plywood was still wet under the left side . It had been 2 weeks since we had run the refrigerator. The evaporator pan in the back was dry and under the refrigerator itself was also. Yellow highlight is the wet spot and red is trim that swelled and cracked.
