Washer/dryer water valve stuck open

May 18, 2014, 12:50:13 pm

I tried to put water, after the winter, into my RV 94 Foretravel this morning and found that the water valve in the washer/dryer is stuck open and will not stop filling the washer/dryer. Does anyone know how to remove the washer/dryer from the compartment so I can get it open to change out the valve. I am hoping to use it this coming weekend but can not until I can at least turn the water off to the washer/dryer.

Does that year have a water manifold?

If not then you unscrew the strip on the floor in front of the washer and you pull it out.

There should be a hot and cold water shutoff for each of the hoses.  On my 99 the shutoff valves are under floor of the adjacent closet.  There is a small trap door under the rug in the closet.  Try tracing the hoses to see if you can find the shutoffs.  If you still can't find the shutoffs you could disconnect the hoses from the back of the washer and use a garden hose plug (from Home depot or Lowes) so you can use you water system.  Make sure the water pressure is released and the outside faucet valves are open before disconnecting any hoses.

Good luck
