Moisture in space under fridge

[gavinjd68]

We just used our air conditioner extensively for the first time last weekend - the weather was very humid.

The next day we noticed that the floor in the cupboard under the fridge was wet. Don’t see anything leaking from the fridge and everything else seems dry.

I was wondering if the high humidity (over 80% when we turned in the a/c) maybe created condensation in the space?

We have the larger fridge / freezer in an Escape 19.

Check the rear compartment to insure the drain tube is in place....it drains any condensate to the outside.

Everything looks like it's in place - the only "disconnected" hose is the one that sucks the winterizing liquid into the system.

A picture would help but if warm, humid air was infiltrating into this cavity from behind the fridge it is possible that you got condensation on a cool surface. If the surface was below the dew point of the infiltrating air it will condense. Just like a glass of ice water outside on a hot, humid day.
