We weren’t the only ones out enjoying the Florence Marina State Park on the early morning of April 1st. I hope he caught some fish because we found our geocache.
When we got back from vacation on the 7th of April we were in for a surprise. The floor around our refrigerator was very wet. Dang! So we pull the fridge away from the wall and take out the 8 screws holding the soggy cardboard cover on the bottom back. The tray that catches condensation or whatever was full and running over. I sponged out as much water as possible and decided that maybe the water build up might have been caused by the dust build up on the condenser coils, so I vacuumed them off, buttoned everything back up and pushed the fridge back.
You would think I would have remembered about the last time this happened, but no.
One week later (Saturday the 14th) as I open the fridge for something, my sock starts soaking up water. Come on! Sure enough the floor is wet around the base of the refrigerator again. Wheel it away from the wall, remove 8 screws, throw away the totally soaked and warped cardboard cover and notice the condensation tray is full again. Also notice a fine mist cloud of cooling water coming from where the clamp that holds the ice maker water line to the back of the fridge. Empty the tray. Shut off water to the house. Cut 3 inches off the water line. Place a new fitting on the line. Tighten every thing up. Turn the water back on. No leak. Roll the refrigerator back.
Do you think there is a chance that when I get a wet sock while getting a cold drink in the year 2017, that I will instantly think of the ice maker water line?
Me either.
