No water to ice maker.

I opened the outside door behind the ref and that valve was closed. I opened it but still no water to ice maker. Is there something else I'm missing. Hidden valve or???
Thanks

My ice maker also has a lever in the freezer that must be in the on position

Is the ice overflow bar raised or lowered? It needs to be lowered (close to the ice tray) for water to flow.

I've looked around water pump etc. I'm lost. We haven't tried cloths washer yet... Hope it works.

Mine is under the kitchen sink as well. It was very hard to find, had to half crawl into the cabinet, run my hand along the 1/4" white tube, and look up to find it. Small brass valve inline. Since my unit has a factory installed filter and separate filtered water faucet, had to push those extra 1/4" hoses out of the way to find the ice maker hose.

I went and checked out the floor plan for your listed 40R Journey, and your residential refer is on the side opposite all the water like for the kitchen sink and bathroom. That means they had to run a plastic pipe clear across the RV. Probably in the basement. I'd wager that they put a shut off valve right after the pipe entered the basement, then put a 3nd shut off valve as close to the refer as they could.

The first thing I would check is if you have water at the shut off valve. Turn off the valve, remove the line to the ice maker, and turn the valve back on? This will give you a better idea where to look next.

How do you know there is no water flow? The freezer has to be on and frozen for the ice maker to work and if there is no water in the line then it needs to have a few rounds of cycling to get the water to the ice maker. It could easily take a day to get cold enough for this to cycle. Just a thought.

The arm on the icemaker has to be down as well.

No and I pushed and held it around 10 min. The fridge has been on for 7 days now with the bar in the down position. I had my SIL look under sink as well. Took video where we couldn't see. No valve found. We look in all compartments. Maybe crinkled up somewhere under the slide out.

Texasranger, drawing shows two valves one under the sink and one behind the refrigerator. Do you have water at the faucet over the stove?

then you have a closed valve. if it's similar to our '16 Suncruiser it will be under the kitchen sink. it won't be obvious. i have to get down on my knees and use a flashlight to see it. ours is a oval quarter-turn valve. your owner's manual should show it. look in the winterizing section. it's there.

OK. This shutoff valve is small. Winnebago has had this under the sink since the 90's.
This should be off your filtered water line with a T fitting that has the valve inline with it.
This is a very small shutoff valve. Please look more under the sink yourself. That is where the water goes to the fridge. You disconnect it there and at the fridge for winter months.
Like I said it's a small fitting with a T handle for your finger and thumb that twists open and closed.

I have a shutoff valve near my water filter under the sink.

Winnebago did not secure the filter line out to the ice maker so we have to keep the valve shut off or our coach will flood

Safe travels .JD

FINALLY HAVE WATER...wife was going to use the pot filler yesterday...no water. So I looked in the book under pot filler....just like stated above above there is a shut off valve under the sink area. After much looking I finally found it. Now both work.
Thanks for all the replies.

You got to love it when the answers we give are spot on.
But only if we all learn to read the OWNERS Manual some times
