Winterizing Samsung RF18HFENBSR icemaker?
Just replaced the dying Dometic with a Samsung RF18HFENBSR. Don't know what to do with all the room and an icemaker that works! You can see pictures in my other thread.
The installer didn't have specific information on winterizing nor did the product manual. I went on live chat with Samsung customer support. They said to disconnect the water line 24 hours before turning off the refrigerator but leave the icemaker on. This would dump the ice tray and allow the solenoid to open numerous time thus allowing the water to drain into the ice tray and back down the water line.
This makes sense to me. Is this how you winterize your Samsung icemaker? Assume that the RF197 is the same basic refrigerator.
To winterize with the pink stuff would require leaving the water system pressurized with the pink stuff until the icemaker cycled. Often I'm under the weather gun time wise to winterize when returning to Colorado. Really didn't want pink stuff in the ice tray or solenoid.
Thought I would ask now instead of waiting till we head home in March.
