2118 PolarMax 18.3 cubic ft. fridge

I was wondering if anyone has this fridge in their Montana? If so, does your drip tray have a slight curve to it to match the curve in the back of the fridge? The back of our fridge is curved and the drip tray is straight so the tray will not stay in the hold down clips. What have you done to rectify this problem? We and our dealer have contacted Thetford/Norcold without any satisfaction.

We have found that same problem with ours. It is impossible to defrost the refrigerator without have water run down the back wall and clear into the bottom. We have to remove the bottom drawers every time to dry it out.

Not what you should have to do, but aluminum tape used in the hvac world could be used to seal the back wall to the inside of the tray. John

Has Norcold created another monster? Just one more reason I will have a residential reefer next time whether it's a new fiver or a replacement for a failed Norcold.

Norcold has a kit to fix that problem. Call them and they will send you one

They did send us a kit which is a piece of plastic that sticks to the back of the fridge and hangs into the drip tray. This does nothing as the drip tray won't stay in the retaining clips because the tray is straight and there is a curve in the back of the fridge, so only one side of the drip tray will clip in, but the tray falls out when towing the trailer.
