Water pump issue

[Lawrence Tarnoff]

When the pump is turned on and no taps are open, it cycles on for a few seconds every 16 seconds or so. Also, the carpet under the dining room table is soaked leading me to suspect a leaky line somewhere.  No water under the coach.  Any ideas??

Sounds like a leaky ice maker line.

In my water pump bay is a shut off petcock for my ice maker , check to see if you have one also

Take the exterior cover off from behind the fridge.  Our ice maker water feed line cracked a few years ago and was spraying a very fine sheen of water... barely enough to see.  But the floor behind the fridge was wet and some of the water spray was aimed through the exterior door cover so I could see drips outside on the wall of the coach.  There never was enough water leakage to show anywhere inside the coach living space.  Like yours, our water pump would cycle a few times every minute.  I cut out the 1/2" long section of the hose where the split was and put in an inline female-female connector (got it at Ace Hardware).  I then placed some foam water-pipe insulation loosely around the water line where it was receiving some heat radiating from the propane heater stack on the fridge.

Finally got around to looking behind refrigerator access panel.  Leak is from a
pex-like fitting I installed a couple years ago to repair another leak.  This time I will invest in a better
Fitting.
