Refrigerator water line

Anyone know where the water line shut off for the refrigerator is located on a 2017 3825FL? The dealer doesn’t even know! Thanks

Yeah if you open the basement door where your water hook up is you have to un screw the wall behind it. You will see your hot water heater and the refrigerator shut off there. It not to hard to get to. I have so pics I'll try to find and post

Thank you! The dealer kept telling me it’s a cabinet close to the refrigerator

If you'll look at my posts the post named residential fridge has pictures of the shut off. Here's the link also

That's in the real world. RV world not so much.

No problem. If it hadn't been for the people on here I wouldn't have found it either.

kudos to walking tall! we have a 2015 3825fl cardinal. that little valve is impossible to find by yourself. thankfully I found it after reading about it on the forum. on ours it is on the floor behind the water heater. you have to unscrew an access panel in the basement wall to be able to get into that area. I had to trace the white plastic water line going to the refrigerator to actually find the valve.

In my 2017 3850RL, they moved that valve into the water bay controls area. Very handy.

It came that way or you had the dealer move it?

I’ve got 14’ 3850rl and it’s behind the wet bay, had to open the access panel. Really didn’t know how the valve worked. Brother is a plumber and he’d never seen a valve like it.

Poor location, but its just a push/pull type valve. what you cant see in your photo is the smaller line that goes to the refrigerator.
