    Question Refrigerator fins causing condensation

    Anyone have problems with lots of condensation coming off the refrigerator fins? We have adjusted the temp which controls both the freezer and fridge so the food temps are safe. However, everything we put in the fridge and take out has water on the top of whatever it (especially if the top is a flat surface). It also pools on top of the veggie and meat drawers. Anyone have any ideas?

    More then likely, you have a door seal that is not sealing.

    Your collection tray in the rear of the fridge may be overflowing. There are times when that happened to us. On occasion, the drain tube plugs up, so I remove the lower exterior panel and suction the tube out. When new, ours had a small fitting on the end of the tube, which seemed to contribute to plugging the tube. I believe that fitting is there to prevent small bugs from entering the tube. Now I just keep an eye on the tray and suction it when needed.

    We had a problem with the lid on the center drawer in bottom. It would block center flap from closing. Removed lid, no more problems

    we had the same problem water would drip from fins go behind the catch tray and get everything wet including the drawers and bottom of fridge. My wife called Grand Design and they sent us a condensation kit for the fridge. the kit was easy to install, no problems since. The kit redirects the condensation from the fins into the catch tray.

    Gary and Deborah what was your solution? Our Norcold does the same thing intermittently and we have tried everything we know of to fix it.

    Allen and Sandi,

    Go to this link (you can copy and paste...for some reason it's not showing up as a blue link...though it may once I post this.) The fix is in there thanks to someone else who was able to figure it out and a missing part from Norcold. The problem is resolved!!!

    Blessings in the New Year to you!

    Make sure he reads through the whole thread. We definitely have no more problems with the fridge since Gary did what he did to it and we got the drip tray that was missing when we bought it.
