Water Leak in 2011 Keystone Outback

[JessicaKlarr]

Hello, I am experiencing a leak under the furnace/fridge in my 2011 Keystone Outback. Just discovered it. I am really bummed. We bought it used so it's not under any type of warranty.

We are really confused as to where the leak could be coming in from. Has anyone had this happen to them? How did you fix the problem?

Thank you,

Jessica

I am pretty sure I attached the pics. Still trying to figure this forum out.

Welcome to the forum

Looks like your figuring this forum out, your pics loaded just fine.

Water leaks can be a real PITA to find. If the trailer isn't level, the water will travel downhill. What else is near the furnace? Take out drawers if you can, looking for water lines. Most likely the leak is at a corner connection or an end connection.

Is the defrost drain sticking out the vent on the outside. Just a thought

This is just a "WAG", but have you checked the drain hose from the evaporator pan on the refrigerator? It is usually a black corrugated plastic hose, about 1/2" in diameter. Normally it is routed between the evaporator coils and the back of the refrigerator cabinet and is "sticking out" of the lower refrigerator vent. If it's displaced or if it is cracked (normally happens after about 4 or 5 years) then your water may be from that. Otherwise, the top refrigerator vent (if it's on the roof) can be brittle from UV exposure and cracked or leaking around the base.

If neither of those, then all I can suggest is to keep looking and keep the area "mopped up and as dry as possible" until you do find the source.

Let us know what you find

Here is my WAG:

Did you happen to clean and rinse off your roof recently?

A few weeks ago, I washed my roof and rinsed it off with a garden hose. I used a steady stream of water to dislodge some leaves from around my roof top fridge vent. A short while later, I went into the TT and found water on the floor. Upon inspection, the water had made its way down the fridge roof vent, under the fridge and into the area occupied by the furnace before making its way out onto the open floor area.

JessicaKlarr, Howdy;



Looking at your pix created a question. What is on the other side of the
partition in photos 3 & 4 that the water appears to be going under? Could
the water be coming from there or is it going to the other side? Ok, 2
questions ... If your kitchen sink is there or hot water heater then those
may be the culprits.

Good luck and please let us know what you find.

Did you find the leak source? Did you fix it?

The issue was me spraying water toward the fridge vent. Another lesson learned: Do not spray toward the fridge vents, on roof or on the wall.
