Model N811L, Vintage 2003, has a problem draining the condensation from the cooling fins. The drain hose seems to be plugged.
Does any know the routing for the hose? Do I have to remove the refrigerator to gain access?

It should drain into the fridge compartment accessible from the outside. Mine drains into a pan that evaporates. Look for a clear hose about 1/4 inch in diameter that comes into the compartment from above.

I agree, except mine has a rubber plug in end of hose. Remove plug and use a needle to clean small hole in end. Once plug is "unplugged", put it back. I clean plug every fall when I winterize.

I agree with the others. The water runs into a tray under the cooling fins and then the hose runs from the tray right thru the back of the frig and dumps into a little pan where it evaporates. You have access to the pan and hose by just removing the frig vent cover that is on the outside of your RV.

You can also use one of those cans of pressurized blow power from any office supply to blow through the hose, once you have the plug removed from the end. Once you do that, run a small amount of water through it to make sure that it is clear. On some of the newer Norcold refrigerators there is no plug but rather a heat sealed end that was crimped and which has a small hole to allow moisture to drain. You may need to run something through that opening.
