The refrigerator is equipped with a heater tape wrapped around
the water solenoid valve and outlet water tube. During cold
weather operation below 32 °F/0 °C the automatic temperature
switch will turn the heater tape on automatically.
If the RV is in storage and the refrigerator or the DC power is
turned OFF there will be no 12V DC present to operate the
heat tape; therefore, it will be necessary to drain and dry the ice
maker and the water dispenser (if applicable).
This will prevent water from freezing in the solenoid valve or
becoming stale and producing bad tasting ice.
If the ambient temperature is expected to fall below
32 °F/0 °C, the ice maker and water dispenser (if applicable)
must be drained to prevent component damage and leaks. For
instructions, see the following sections

MAkER DRAINING THE WATER DISPENSER
draining the ice maker
Draining of the ice maker must be performed by qualified
service personnel only. Water, compressed air and AC power
are required.
Before starting the draining procedure, make sure
the RV is level!
TO DRAIN THE ICE MAkER, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1. Shut off water supply valve
2. Place a shallow pan under water solenoid valve.

side of the water solenoid valve.
6. Drain water from the line.
7. Connect compressed air onto the inlet fitting of the
water solenoid valve.
8. Apply AC power to the solenoid valve by forc-
ing the ice maker mold assembly through several
harvest cycles.
9. Remove the plastic cover from the mold assembly.
The bail arm must be in the down ("ON") position.
10. Start the harvest cycle with a flat blade screw driver
inserted into the center of the small gear.
11. Turn the gear counter clockwise, when the hold
switch closes, the mold assembly will continue to
operate through the harvest cycle. During the water
fill sequence of the harvest cycle the compressed
air will blow out the water trapped in the solenoid
valve.
