Don’t be afraid
to pull the fridge out a bit. On the SM53 there are only three thumb screw
holding the unit in. (perhaps a 54 owner could chime in with the locations of
the screws on the 54) Once the screws are out, it is possible to pull the
fridge out about a foot without pulling it all the way out. Take off the
cabinet doors in the kitchen under the sink (the whole panel should come off
with the doors attached – look for the Phillips head screws (I think 2 or 3)
lift and remove. You can now get to the back of the fridge.
But before you
do all of this. Remove the drain tray inside the fridge. Try putting a water
hose over the hole in the fridge – pulse the water a couple of times. It is
possible you have some dirt blocking the drain hose and a little pressure might
help clear it. This drains to the bilge.
With best
regards,

Hi all,
In our 54 there is an upright Frigoboat fridge in the galley
which has the small freezer compartment at the top, and just below that is a
tray to collect melted ice. That tray is connected to a small drain hose which
disappears behind the fridge to where I do not know!. This hose seems to be
blocked resulting in water accumulating at the bottom of the fridge, I would be
grateful if someone has dealt with this before and could advise how to get
access to this hose as it does not seem to be easy at all without some major
dismantling which I'm reluctant to do without knowing what I'm doing.
