Icemaker Waterline Replacement

Has anyone replaced the icemaker water line from the filter in the kitchen slide to the frig. I have tried snaking it down the channel from the top and tried pulling it up through the bottom with no success. Called Monaco and they were unable to assist in resolution. Help, any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm thinking while I'm typing. Assuming it goes thru under the floor rather than in cabinets, the three spots that would be problematic would likely be where it goes thru the floor at the refrigerator end and at the filter end, and where it goes thru the flexible connection to the slide. You should be able to remove the ceiling panel between the frame rails to get to that part of the route. I wonder if you could cut a piece of "O" ring and maybe superglue it into one end of the bad line and into one end of the new one. Then you might be able to push from the feed end and pull from the bad end and tug it through that way. You would certainly have to help it at those penetrations and any restriction point.

If the routing is above the floor, you will find that all of the bottoms of the cabinets can be easily removed to get access to the space below them. And drawers can be pulled to accomplish the same goal.

I'm assuming you have a Monaco product, and I'm assuming it was made in the last decade or two. You don't say. But if those things are true, you should be able to get the job done. On our '06 Monaco, they ran ½" PEX to near the refrigerator. I haven't seen the transition piece, yet. It is PEX where it turns vertical below the back of the fridge. Where it emerges at the fridge, it is well wrapped in insulation. I suspect that is where the PEX ends and transitions to a short piece of flexible line to the water valve.

May have been a help, may not. Good luck in your efforts.

My ice maker water line burst under the refer. I bought a new piece of like tubing and pulled the new line in with the old line as the puller. If the old line is gone, try using a fish tape or a piece of stiff wire. If you insert at one side, you should be able to "feel" around and poke the end through the hole on the other side. (I am assuming the problem is getting through the double floor.) Anyway, I have snaked several wires through that way, and was able to pull the line for the ice maker through with the old one. (You have to be patient - it can be frustrating 'till it finally goes through) Good Luck!
