Discovery: Ice maker supply line

[Hepals]

Have a 2001 fleetwood discovery 37u with an ice maker. Previous owner in winterizing disconnected water feed line at the shut off in the back (exterior access panel). I cannot
find or determine where to connect water. A water line comes up and shut off in line, then about 10 inches of 1/4 tubing with AZ brass nut ... but dont know where to connect the brass nut.

You should have an water solenoid on the back of the refrigerator that looks like this

The incoming water line attaches to the garden hose threaded port, older models have an adapter from garden hose threads to the compression nut.\
The outlet line threads onto the bottom port and normally has a 12V heating wire wrapped around it to prevent freezing when fridge is operating.
This pdf shows what I attempted to describe: https://bryantrv.com/docs2/docs/icemaker.pdf

Thanks for reply and pictures. Helps narrow it down.
It appears the solenoid is missing. That is what I was looking for to connect the 1/4 in. line, much like my residential fridge. However seems to be taken out?
Pictures attached.

Which model refrigerator do you have? Yours looks different from the one that was in my 2006 Discovery. I've replaced the Norcold with a 20+-cf Frigidaire residential a few years back. I'm surprised yours is still working!

Norcold had several recalls on refrigerators. Might want to check to see if yours had the recall items fixed or not.

I have a PDF file for the Norcold 1210 refrigerator but it is too large to link it here. I also have pictures of what mine looked like. Again mine was a 1210 model. The blue ice maker valve looked just like the one in the previous posters picture and it was mounted just above the gas valve.

My model # is NDR 1292. Fortunately the refrigerator works very well. The coach is a 2001, but only has 62,000 on the Cat 330 desiel. Everything else is working fine, just would like to figure out the ice maker. But all said and done, not a huge deal if we use ice trays. Attempting to make life easy for my 5 oclock bar tender ( my wounderful wife)
Thanks for input/help.

I'm working on the same issue. In my case the solenoid was still in place. It appears the previous owner did not properly winterize the ice maker line resulting in the solenoid failing.

Another issue I'm dealing with is the ice maker supply line is missing. As I understand it Fleetwood ran a heated wire along side the supply line to the icemaker. The heat from this line caused the supply line to deteriorate and fail.

I was able to get an oem solenoid to replace the broken one and plan to pull the refer to replace the supply line. I think I'm going to go with a copper line so I can reattach the heated wire without worry about the line failing.

It doesn't look like mine either - my solenoid was easy access in the middle of the access door area.
I am a little concerned that your previous owner pulled the solenoid AND the line that goes up ot the icemaker. Stick a flashlight in there, and look up... Do you see any fittings or hoses that you can't explain?

FYI if this unit ever does fail, search IRV2 for "Amish" and you will find information about a shop that sells kits to repair or upgrade your fridge without having to replace teh whole thing. If you are handy, it saves a bunch of money. If you are not, but can travel, take it to their shop and they will do that work. Still cheaper than a whole new fridge. Just something good to know if it ever happens.

Good luck!

Thanks all for input. Great help and insight. Good point soleniod taken out AND the line. Will probably need to get in touch with Dometic to get details and parts.
Thanks again.
