Water leak next to refrigerator in dining area

[jannlanz]

Hello,
I have a 2003 Monaco Diplomat motorhome. When I turn on the water pump and take a shower, the carpet gets soaked that is located next to the refrigerator in the dining area - about a 2' section. Can anyone possibly narrow down this problem? I'm wondering what might be involved in fixing this water leak. Thank you so much for any information.

We have a Monaco, different model, but our water heater is in the bottom of the cabinet next to the refrigerator. Are you sure it's not a connection on your water heater leaking when you take a hot shower. Ours did and the carpet in that area soaked up the water. Check to see if that is what it is -- only leaked when hot water was in use.

water line to ice maker probably

We narrowed it down to the ice maker line and we were able to repair it. Thank you so much for your responses everyone!

Need to try and eliminate the leaking source .... near the fridge but only when shower/water pump is on!!! :h
Get the ice cube maker water line off or dis-connected to verify leaks or NOT.
How far away is the shower in comparison to the wet carpet? Same side of coach? Run the hot side of shower .... wet? Run the cold side of shower ..... wet?? Is the shower pan leaking ......? Running under the tile and soaking the carpet?
So on and so on ...........

Open up the refrigerator access panel on the exterior of your RV, and look for a loose connection. I found that my ice-maker line connection was loose and dripping when the pump was on. It was an easy fix. The most difficult part was removing water from the pan below the refrigerator without bleeding.

If it 'leaks' when using water pump you will have the same leak when connected to shore water supply.....it's all tied together. Same plumbing system.........just two different sources for water.

If it is the fridge ice maker line it would always leak when system is pressurized with water.

IF the leak only occurs when using shower then I would suspect leak has something to do with shower system.....either leaks from shower diverter (downstream of hot/cold water valves) or from shower drain line.

Are you saying it leaks only when using the water pump ...... also when hooked up to shore water supply?
Check see if you have a ice maker water shut off valve from the exterior. If no valve use something to sqeeze off the supply line to determine if that's causing the leak.

Sounds like the water line feeding the ice maker in your fridge. Can you be a bit more descriptive or post a pic?

Could be ice maker line. It may not have been winterized, froze and split.
Check for connection under kitchen sink. That is if it leaks a little all the time and you only notice after sower.
It could be the shower line. same thing. Didn't get winterized. Some can be accessed through viod to replace.
