Finishing Up
Pour about a cupful of antifreeze into every drain to displace the water and protect the trap.
Finally, dump the holding tanks and pour a pint or so of antifreeze directly through the toilet and the tub drain ...
... to protect the dump valves.
That's it ... Done!
Winterizing the ice maker
This is cut & pasted from the Dometic manual ...
Follow these Steps:
- 1. Shut off water supply valve to ice maker.
- 2. Place a shallow pan under water solenoid valve.
- 3. Remove inlet fitting to ice maker water solenoid valve. Drain water
from the supply line.
- 4. Remove the plastic nut and water line from outlet side of water
solenoid valve. Drain water from the line.
- 5. Cycle ice maker several times while blowing compressed air through
water solenoid valve. Be sure all water is out of the solenoid.
NOTE: Up to 40 PSIG air pressure can be used to clear the valve.
- 6. Reconnect and tighten lines on water solenoid valve. Leave the
water supply turned off until temperatures are above 32°F/0°C.
- 7. Dry out ice maker mold assembly with soft cloth. Place bail arm in
UP/OFF position.
Winterizing the washer/dryer combo:
- Set the water temperature control to warm - this will fill both the cold and the hot lines with antifreeze.
- Turn on the unit and run about a gallon of antifreeze into the unit.
- Turn the control to spin - this will allow the pump to run the antifreeze through itself and then through the drain hose.
- Pour a cup down the drain to be sure that the "p" trap is filled with antifreeze.
