Winterizing a Residential Frig w/ ice & water dispenser

[TimH]

I have a 2021 Precept 31UL and would like to winterize myself. Can anyone advise on how to winterize a residential frig with ice and water dispenser. Also, I can’t locate my fresh water tank drain on my 2021 Precept 31UL. Any guidance on that would be appreciated as well.

Can't speak to the fridge with ice maker, but the fresh water drain, should be in the wet bay behind and under the main valve panel. You should see multiple lines with valves going from top to bottom and through the floor of the bay.

Run AF through your city connection and turn your ice maker on. Let it make a batch of slushy pink ice and you're done. Run water through the water dispenser same way you would the sink. At the beginning of the season, let the fresh water push the pink out until it becomes clear (white) batches of clean ice.


Note: Some units have the water line for the icemaker in the same slide as the refrigerator, like my 5'er does. I can actually drain my refrigerator at the connection in the slide. (outside).

As far as the tank drain, I would imagine it's hanging down underneath the unit.

What I do with my fridge, and I just did it yesterday, I run the pink pop thru the lines working my way from the back of the trailer to the front. When I get to the fridge, I fill a cup thru the water dispenser in the door until the pink pop comes out. Then force cycle the icemaker and watch to make sure some pink pop flows into the ice tray.
IMPORTANT!!! Depending on your fridge, make sure you take out the water filter inside the fridge (if equipped which I'm sure it is) and install a full flow cartridge, OR remove the filter if you can still dispense water thru the door without it.
Reason; the filter will work so well it'll filter out all the pink dye and make you think it's still pumping out water and many gallons of pop later,... ask me how I know. Lol!!
