The carpet in front of my refrigerator is damp and I assume the condensation discharge is blocked. Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

Not sure about your fridge, but the older Norcolds like mine do not have a drain like a household unit. I’m not aware of any of the marine units having one either.
When the frost melts, it can be collected in a bowl on the top shelf of the fridge, otherwise it will drain out the bottom of the door onto the floor in front.

Does your frig lose power once in a while?
The small frig unit I have in the 290 only defrosts when I turn it off.

There is also a small tray installed at the back of the fridge to catch moisture off the coils...maybe it’s full ... it just rests on 2 pins at each end..to cut down on condensation I leave the freezer off until I need it (we use the boat mainly as a day cruiser).

I checked the small tray and it is completely dry. I wonder where the condensation is going other than my carpet.

It never seems to lose power. Works perfectly other than the water on the carpet.
