PLUMBING PROBLEM - Winnebago ERA

I think your right the faucet is screwed up , take it off , and get a partner to watch the flow with the faucet off

YES......your single handled kitchen faucet is not allowing cold water flow

IF rebuildable.....disassemble and get new internal parts OR buy/install a new residential style faucet of your choice

As others have indicated it sounds like the faucet is toast, or it could be as simple as a blockage in the cold water line, either some junk in the cold port of the faucet, or a pinched line. If it was a broken line, you would hear the pump running continuously.
Good luck in your debugging efforts.

Thanks for your replies folks. I have removed the faucet and it appears that it is defective and blocking the cold water. The water line is not crimped or blocked.

Now comes the fun part ... trying to get a new on. I did check with a local plumbing supply store but they don't have anything close. I have tried two local Winnebago dealers ... nothing in stock so they would have to order. May take several weeks if they are even available, so I'm told.

This is the second time this faucet has been replaced. The first time before I even took delivery 3 years ago. Now it has broken again. Why they make such cheap parts is beyond me.

Try a hardware store.....big box type (south of border we have Home Depot/Lowes/ACE/Menards etc)

Just need to match spacing (4" on center---6" on center etc.) on sink.

And possibly get adapters for connections IF they are different

Karsty, a suggestion, call Lichtsinn Motors in Forest City, IA, 1-800-343-6255, ask for parts. They are just down the street from the factory and have parts drop shipped straight from Winnebago to you. Now I don't know about the USA to Canada shipping charges or $$$$ differences, you know more about that stuff.

Also, do you filter all the water that goes in your coach? We always have, and have never had any plumbing issues in any of our RV's. I'm talking all water, even from the house....

Bob ... that works. I have a US address that it could be shipped to right on the other side of the border in Lockport, NY.

Thanks ... I'll give them a shout on Monday ... or check to see if they are open now ... there might be a couple hour time difference in my favour.

I THINK I have discovered the problem. It has been a challenge for this non mechanical guy to figure this stuff out.

The other year I had to have an "emergency" water leak repair made. There was water leaking from a line coming from the water filter/diverter assembler/holder. I was just leaving on vacation for a couple weeks and the dealer told me to stop by and they would see what they could do.

What they did was to "by-pass" the water filter/diverter assembly by disconnecting the line coming from the main water supply and capping that off. The leak stopped and since I never used the filter in the first place I never gave it any more thought.

Fast forward to that fall ... I was noticing the problem with not having water come out of the cold side of the tap ... since it was time to winterize I never bothered with it ...

Long story short ... what they did by bypassing that line was to totally bypass the kitchen cold water line that came out the other side of the water filter/diverter holder/assembly. I only discovered that this morning when I was removing the faucet and disconnected the water lines. When I traced the water lines I noted that there was no water line connected to the kitchen cold water line because it had been bypassed.

Since I don't use the filter I have removed it completely for now and will re-connect the cold water kitchen line to the main water supply line and ... fingers crossed ... that should be the problem solved. I hope. :)

Good job. Keep the dealer in your phone list. They are very helpful folks and best prices too....

So cold water to kitchen faucet had been bypassed due to leak on filter and you went without cold water from kitchen faucet during that vacation year ago and this whole summer and didn't notice not having cold water at kitchen faucet :H
