The solenoid needs to be drained completely. I disconnect both sides of the solenoid to drain any water out. I then hook up supply side, pressurize and jump the solenoid to open it allowing air through.
Back to the topic, I've not fully checked, but having to pull mine out earlier this year, it looks the same as a conventional ice maker, so if the day comes, I'll adapt a standard residential one.
I love having to never worry about ice, and it only takes slightly more room than a small bag of ice.
I agree, I have found if you just disconnect the line to the ice maker and leave it for a few days, all the water wicks out on its own. The water thru the door can be drained by just hitting the water side at the door, while the water system is pressurized with air.
I really hate to have go without the ice maker as it is really convenient.
