I am a new owner of a Landmark San Antonio with a Dometic RM1350 Refer with Ice Maker. I will need to winterize the ice maker. Hopefully I can do this myself even though the instruction say to have a qualified tech do the work. I am sure there are many out there who have done this thus my questions. The winterize instruction are a little vague. For instance my main first question is how do you turn off the water supply to the ice maker without turning off the water to the entire RV unit? Second question is the instructions say to disconnect the water lines from the solenoid valve. Can I assume they mean the larger copper line attached to the valve. Also can I assume they mean to disconnect the smaller plastic tube which is connected at different location?. And they also say to blow air into the supply side of the valve. Do I blow air into the solenoid valve fitting where I have disconnected the large copper tube? And furthermore they say to activate AC power to the icemaker while blowing air into it and cycling the gear wheel inside of the plastic housing. But it says to only activate AC power for a max of 20 seconds (what!!). I guess it is a two person job right? One to blow the air and the other to cycle the ice maker. This is a little hard to understand and very vague to say the least. Do I have to turn on the main refrigerator power switch before I do this to activate AC power? Sorry for my lengthy post but I want to do this right for the first time. Thanks for any reply.
