With temperatures dropping, it's time to winterize your refrigerator ice maker water feed line.
If your refrigerator is located in a slide out, as most are, parts of the water feed line are exposed to outside air. The water in the line will freeze as soon as temps go below freezing. And of course, the line will be damaged. Depending on where the damage occurs, you could end up with water leaking inside the coach.
If you have a residential refrigerator, consult our owner-written Residential Refrigerator Guide for instructions on how to winterize. If you have a Dometic RM1350 gas absorption frig, consult our Winterization Guide for instructions. For Norcold units, the procedure will be similar, but you should consult the refrigerator manual for model specific instructions.
Even if you're located in a relatively warm climate, all it takes is one below freezing night to damage the water feed line. Now's the time to prepare.
Note that on Landmark 365 models, the water feed cutoff line may be in the kitchen island, behind/under some of the drawers.
