The insulation foam does NOI melt. What you just posted is something that was dripping from above. Is there a cabinet above the refer? Doug

Fridge is in a slide.
The top is dry and dusty, dark spots are from feeling around with fingers, rubbing, tapping etc.
No foreign substances or moisture on
the top. There is that dip though which I wouldn’t expect with solid foam.
The gunk is coming from inside the fridge.

I know you think so. But, there is NOTHING that Dometic uses that resembles any liquid. That liquid had to come from the OEM builder of the RV, or from somebody that has worked and pulled the refer previously. I have over 44 years as a RV tech and have pulled thousands of refers. NEVER have any had any liquid type substance on them at all. They are spray foam blocks with a silver foil type cover. NO sealants of any kind. The only liquid sealant is the Thermal Mastic which is BEHIND the lower side evap coils, not close to on top. Doug

You state that the refer is in a slide. That means instead of a ROOF VENT, you have an upper sidewall vent DOOR. SOMEBODY when the RV was washed could have sprayed cleaning soap and water thru that door and THAT liquid could get on top the refer. Doug
