Washing Machine Plumbing
Does anyone know how to access the water lines leading to the closest in the cap? Mine broke and I can't get in there to repair it.

If you take apart the shelf on the right side against the floor, it covers the plumbing.
Picture with the cap removed.

Looks as though you could remove the screws holding the white plastic insert and lift it out of the wall and allow you to access the upper end of the pipes if that will allow you to correct the problem.

That is the only access I see too. I was hoping maybe someone had done it before and didn't have to pull the machine out. I can't get to it without moving the washer. I think that's the only way. Thanks

Is that the shelf the washer sits on?
If so that would be easy access to feed the blue pex back into the hole and replace the fitting. I wouldn't have to remove the washer.

Is that in the side outside wall of the washer/dryer cabinet?

Under the shelf on the right (picture 1)
Yes you will have to remove the washer.
Picture 2 shelf removed.

Attach the new pipe to the old one. Then pull it through to the other side.

The white pvc pipe (picture 2 above) goes to an overflow pan (not yet installed) that goes under the washer. It follows the other pipes back, then down through the floor and into the propane bottle compartment and out. If the washer ever overflows it will run out on the ground and not into the rig.
You can also put a First Alert water alarm in the closet with the sensor in the pan.

Is there a reason why you don’t want to pull the machine out? I’d recommend it, not only for the dust bunny collection but also to check how the unit connects to the drain. I would install a battery water detector like the watchdog (google it) at the bottom of the water lines, to alert you immediately if the SHTF. Our Splendide was installed incorrectly by the dealer, and the drain hose was stuck waayyy down into the drain, which creates a siphon that can really mess things up. We only found that out when doing the monthly cycle 11/11/12 cleaning routine wasn’t letting the water stay in the washer and we looked at the way the drain hose was setup contrary to the installation guide. Plus, you will need to access the back when annually cleaning lint from the dryer hose. My 2 cents…
