Dometic RM1282 Fridge is leaking

I have a RM 1282 Dometic. We noticed the floor was wet around the fridge and upon investigating, it appears the culprit is the blue plastic piece where a hose drain screw on. I am guessing the rubber washer is near end of life, or possibly the blue housing is cracked, still trying to find the name/part # for this piece.

I tightened this up and it appears to have stopped. I think this is the ice maker drain? I have the maker turned off on the lower front panel, but is there a way to turn this off completely and block water from going into it? Our water source is onboard water with just turning on the pump as needed.

Jason,

That blue piece with the green coil is the water supply to the ice maker. It should feed from under the sink after the water filter. On some coaches there is a shut off valve under the sink that you can close off to isolate this valve.

Thank you!!  I do have a valve and you're correct, the line runs to the fridge. I'll look for a plug for that line so I can continue using the filtered water spigot, probably putting in a valve. And I'll replace the washer. This created a bit more of a mess than we wanted. Sadly, my water alarm was on the opposite end under the fridge and didn't pick it up due to the slope. Just another reason to upgrade to a residential unit, but I have to do the microwave first. Thanks again sir!

Follow up, replaced the old washer (green) with a new one (red), it was hard and worn on one side. Still trying to find a T or plug for the line. But it's always neat to see rubber bits and how they age, as well as a good reminder for others.
