Fridge leaks water

Yahoo Message Number: 90700
I have a Norcold in my coach that produces water/condensation and hovers around 40 to 42 degrees. The freezer/ice maker is fine.
Any thoughts?

There is a plastic condensate pan under the cooling fins inside the frig box. Make sure the drain hose (left back) is clear. The plastic pan has an outlet fitting which press fits into the pan. Sometimes this can come loose. The hose drains into a small plastic pan down by the propane burner. Make sure the hose exit isn't stoppered up. Inspect the water feed line to the ice maker. The best way to diagnose this it to shut off the water to the ice maker. If that dries things out you've got a leak there. I installed a PEX shut off valve in mine. Photo here:
