Water leak from refrigerator?
Just noticed evidence of a water leak on my 2022 Chateau. Is it safe to assume this is coming from the refrigerator?
Next steps? Warranty?

Good place to start. Could be ice maker line.

Thanks but we don't have an ice maker

If you are tilted slightly to the door you may get some condensation leak out the door seals especially if the hose is not connected to the condensation drain tray in the back.

Negative. No evidence of water in the fridge, drip tray or otherwise

Refrigerators - especially ones without ice makers - are pretty much not able to leak. Unless you had a bottle of something spill inside it. Which can happen on the road. I’d be looking for another source. Nearby fixtures or even a window or roof leak. Water is relentless and sometimes shows up in unlikely places. Don’t give up until you find it!

I agree with Pete's, don't panic, look more into it. Could be a very simple solution. Mine was extra moisture in the ice maker.

The picture appears to show corner screws for that panel below the fridge. I'd suggest removing that panel to get a look under the area. Is it an absorbent or residential? If absorbent the condensation drain line could have come loose and is draining inside rather than out.

Yeah, pulled that panel first. No evidence of a leak behind there.

Someone submitted a photo of the drain hose tied off. We had similar problem with our Axis and it is in the dealer to replace the damaged wood. They have yet to identify the cause.

Found this behind the access panel outside.

Looks like you found the source of your leak. The end of that hose needs to be opened (not taped up) and inserted through one of the vent holes in the louvers for the access door.
