Ice Maker Problem - 2014 Journey 36M

[drgjones01]

Hello,
I have a 2014 Journey 36M with a residential refrigerator and ice maker. I can't trace the line from the filter to the ice maker but perhaps that is my problem ie no ice. I have water to the cold water tap in the fridge, but not the ice maker and haven't been able to discover why. If the filter under the sink is only for the ice maker, then the winterizing "bypass" plug that is in it may be stopping water flow to the ice maker? My difficulty is that the filter I have is too tall for the receptacle. There is a small structure directly under the place for the filter that prevents the filter from sliding in. Is it possible that the plug/bypass installed on the filter receptacle prevents water from getting to the ice maker? I can't find anything in my books or online. Thanks!

My under sink filter (2003 coach) is an Everpure ADC. It is a one piece metal carbon filter ... no housing ... and can be difficult to install. It must be pushed into the head, then twisted to lock into place. It filters water to the drinking outlet on the sink, and to the refrigerator. I see no reason why the refrigerator water tap would have a different water line from the ice maker ... that would double the expense & the risk of a leak. There's is normally a cut-off valve in the small water line under the sink to turn off the flow to the refrigerator. I have never operated mine w\o a filter, but the bypass plug should allow that water line to operate exactly as it works w\a filter installed. As to why there is no water flow to the ice maker, I would be looking at the ice maker itself, and\or the solenoid valve on the back of the refrigerator. Something is not telling it to allow water into the ice maker.

For the OEM Everpure Winnebago under-sink water filter, mine has a lever on top of the housing that is a water shutoff.

There is a wonderful site for locating things like this called the "parts catalog"! Many may skip it as they are not looking for parts to order but it is very handy to use to look for where and what parts we have and how the water lines are run!

Your Rv has an early and late build, so I'm not able to pin it down to which RV exactly and one of the changes is in the water supply to/from the filter, so I cut and snipped both and will let you look it over which might best fit you??
Click these snips for a better view or go direct for the whole story!

Early (pre-March build?)



Late build?



Are you aware of the cutoffs for the supply out of the filter to the frig? That would seem to be a place to check, so I outlined them for locations?

Best of luck on the chase!

It might not be the water supply.

Take the cover off of the end of the ice maker that faces out.
Find the contacts to the heater element.
See if they are scorched.
If so replace the ice maker.

FWIW, this pdf applies to all ice makers in refrigerators, not just Norcold brand.
