Outlet beneath sink needed for Ice Maker or not?
There I am after a 10 minute repair replacing the auto-reset breaker to fix the slides and I have the whole afternoon. So I consult my mod-to-do list and find listed that an outlet is needed under the sink to plug the portable ice maker into. So thinking that I was just going to chain to an existing outlet at the end of the kitchen slide, I loosened up the screws and was disappointed that there were other outlets in line. One interesting thing that I noted when the outlet was out is that it was enclosed in a box. I had never seen that on previous rigs, and do not know if all are done this way now? So then I reasoned that the last outlet on the counter must be tied to it at the end, but there are no screws to remove the cover? So I pull the drawers out hoping to be able to tie into the wiring behind the counter. Hold on here, what is that that I see, there is an outlet hidden back there that was installed to plug the dishwasher into, and it is a double outlet. Cool!! Immediately realizing I could take the easy way out, I grabbed a heavy duty extension cord and plugged it in and fed it beneath the sink, and just like that another mod was crossed off the to-do list. Love these easy fixes and am thankful the service tech added me an outlet just where I needed it! Another item crossed off the list!

Life is good. Mike, are you keeping track of all the mods Bingo is doing to your rig?

Always good when you can just fall into it rather than have to do a lot of work.

I would like to add an outlet to the end of the counter of my 3100RL. I too looked under the sink and found the same thing. I will look further in the spring when the cover comes off ( ) to try to tap into something.

Keep in mind an additional feed can always be run by adding a breaker if you have the room to add it and the means to fish the wire where you need it. I had considered that as well.
