Water was collecting in my Norcold. I found the problem was that the drip pan was full of ice. So I removed and dumped the drip pan, used compressed air to clear the ice from the drip tube.

I called my service man and he suggested pulling the tip out of the tube and putting the end back into the evaporator pan. His reason was that the opening in the tip is too small and lots of things can stop the flow in the tube at that tip and it would freeze up again.

I was glad to learn that is was not a function of how cold I set the thermostat or a malfunction of workings of the unit. Just a plugged tube and backup in the tray getting frozen.
