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.
