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.
