Ice maker line leaking

When we de-winterized our Cedar Creek Champagne today the water started leaking fast at the back side of refrigerator. We think this is the ice maker water line. We cannot find the shut off valve to cut this off. For right now we just want to run the refrigerator and not use the ice maker. Any help appreciated.

We were able to find the shut off valve. It was behind the rear tire as suggested by B.O. Thanks for helping. We may just leave this shut off.

Since we have never drank the campground water and use bottles, we disconnected the icemaker line the day it came home.
I just buy a bag of ice and pour it into the icemaker.

This is a major problem waiting to happen on these trailers. Like you, we have a residential fridge in our Cardinal with icemaker, and through the door water. Love it. But....I can see that a lot of people will have problems with that thin waterline freezing. That line goes out of the heated basement, into the outside to re-enter the slide with the rest of the electric, gas, and tv coax. If you do not winterize it correctly, or dewinterize before freezing season if over, with the assumption that you'll just run a heater to keep the trailer above freezing, that approx. 6' of thin line is subject to the elements and splitting if it freezes.

I'll be dewinterizing our's next week in preparation for spring break trip, but I'll not flush the antifreeze out of this line until May/June time frame. I may need to come up with some sort of low-pressure pump that I can plumb onto that line to be able to winterize just that line as needed.

The shutoff valve in our cardinal is in the water bay, and is a simple push/pull valve.

Some models did not come with shut off valves.
The line and valve on our Big Horn is located under the kitchen sink.
The line runs outside the frame to a low point drain which some
may mistake for a shut off valve.
It is a common, but expensive headache to deal with until
you get it properly set up

I was told the shut off for my Cedar Creek is a push pull valve located near the street side rear wheel underneath. It supposed to be near the low point drain for the fridge. Haven't looked for mine yet, but I want to shut my ice maker off too. Have no use for it at all, just takes up room.

We are not getting the dealer to fix the issue. Just to tell us where the valve is. We don't need the ice maker now, we just want to be able to turn on the water with no leaks.

Thank you for the suggestions. We looked at all the places mentioned above and still could not find the shut off valve. We will call our dealer tomorrow.

I would be opening up the access panel that goes to your wet bay. Hopefully there is a shut off valve in behind by the hot water tank and outside shower/plumbing area.

That white line should find its way to a supply line with a small shut-off valve, also you can call Cedar Creek's tech line 260-593-2101 and they will help you. You should hook up your city water so there's pressure in that line and feel the white supply line to see if it's wet from the fridge down then follow it to see if that's the problem.

We see now that the refrigerator is bolted to the floor. We see the white water line running from back of refrigerator then behind cabinet under stove and under the floor. But we don't know where it goes under the floor.

We were going to pull the refrigerator out but could not get it to move. Would it be bolted to floor or do we just need to try harder to move it?
