Open up the outside vent cover for the refrigerator. The shutoff valve is under the solenoid valve for the ice maker.

Found the valve, it's located under the lower ref vent cover

now I need to know what the water line is for that comes up through the floor into the bottom of the sofa and into the side of the refrigerator? I seem to have a leak there.

The water line under your sofa is probably the water line for the ice maker. If you have a leak there the shut-off valve at the back of the fridge will not help you as the valve is located after the water line runs under the coach.

Looks like you may have to trace the line back to the water tank and try to find the leak or add a new valve right at the tank to keep water from running to the fridge.

Thanks, we found that the leak was because one of the clamps holding the water line under the sofa had not been clamped tight enough, we removed it and installed a new clamp and now no problem.

Glad you found the leak!

We are new owners of a 2015 29UM, it had about 3500 miles on it.
Thank you for the information on the ice maker. If the operating valve is behind lower outside door, what is behind the upper vent door? I would like to know before I climb up that high. Also good to know to look under the sofa every now and then for leaks.

As far as I could tell there are no valves inside the top cover, no, no need to remove unless servicing the fridge for some reason.

Pretty sure the top vent for your fridge is just a vent, since the fridge in the slide. When the fridge is not on a slide the vent is usually on the roof. Shouldn't be anything behind the top vent you need to work with/worry about.

I found the valve and water is flowing into the ice maker! But in the process of trying to lock the outside vent one side of the plastic "screw" head popped off. I guess I can use a pair of pliers to turn the head and lock it back in place.
Why in the world do they use a plastic lock system so small and fragile on something to close an area on the outside of the motorhome? Would it cost a company that much more to make a system that is a little more secure and safer? I'm sure the cost can't be that much more, it's not like they are making tin cans at over 600 per minute!
Sure would be nice if the big shots would try to camp in these units and try to solve problems that can come up when on the road.
Thank you for the information on where to find the valve and also the fact that I don't have to climb the ladder to look behind that top vent!!
