We have a Northpoint 381FLWS and I have a winterization question: Our previous travel trailers did not have the ice maker/water options on them so winterization was very simple. 27 years and I've had zero issues. My question is, when winterizing, is the ice maker filled with antifreeze as well as the water dispenser, or is there a shutoff for the fridge once it is blown out? I will probably have the local RV place do the winterizing but would like to know the details. We are very nervous about losing the fridge this winter. Thank you.
My 17 Northpoint has a Fridgidare residential fridge in it and it has icemaker and door water on it. I take out my water filter inside the fridge and install a full flow filter in it. I fill glasses with the door dispenser until the pink pop comes out. Then I'll cycle the icemaker and watch to make sure pink pop comes out of the water tube and into the ice tray. Its winterized.
In the spring I'll flush it all out with bleach water mix to sanitize then fresh water to rinse. I'll let the fridge fill the ice bucket full and throw that one out and after that the ice maker is good to go. Never had an issue doing this either.

I went to the amazon site and did a search for Fridgidare (input fridge model here) bypass filter and it popped up a few of them. My filter part number is a ULTRAWF, yours may be different.
Ebay prolly has them too.

I went to Amazon and did a search for the model Whirlpool we have and the regular filters are the only thing that pop up. Would this be ok to leave in and winterize?
