Ice maker water supply shut..just making sure

September 15, 2022, 01:32:22 pm

Attaching two pics of the refrigerator access on the exterior. I currently have the ice maker unplugged from power (one of two plugs located to the side) and have the blue solenoidcapped off as well as the line supplying it. The second pic shows a water hose(?) attached to the underneath of the blue solenoid which is wrapped in tin foil. To avoid any water getting to the ice maker (for winterization...and I do not use the ice maker anyway) do I have to disconnect that line as well or am I good to go??

I blew out the lines.  Apply air pressure and cycle the ice maker by turning the drive gear wheel under the cover in the freezer compartment until only air comes through.  And then run anti-freeze through using the same procedure. 

Just disconnecting the lines may leave pockets of water that can freeze and cause damage.  The foil is the heater tape to keep the valve and lines from freezing when using the coach in below freezing temps.
