Winterizing
It's now approaching another winter season. Last year was my first time with the sizable task of winterizing my 2015 36 foot mobile suites.. with a kitchenaid residential refrigerator.
I made two BIG mistakes.
1. I forgot to drain the toilet rinse water valve. It burst and I was greeted with water flooding the bathroom.
2. I negelected to purge the drinking water and ice maker lines. As with the toilet, I was greeted with water flooding from the frig.
The toilet replacement was easy. The frig valve was not. It required moving the frig out about 8 inches and like building a ship in a bottle, changing the valve through the little access door on the outside wall slide.
The valve in the frig is two valves in one housing.
The water side can be purged by holding the water button. The icemaker side is controlled by the yeng and yang of the ice maker system.
LMy local kitchenaid dealer had no suggestions except to sell me a replacement valve.
So I ask the real talent in the room.
"How do you purge the icemaker?"
