More cold weather questions / Refrigerator Ice Maker

At the end of this week we will have temperatures below freezing for about six days down to at least 10 degrees over night and maybe some snow or freezing rain some sunshine. (Coffeyville, KS) I have taken precautions heaters and trouble lights and heated hose.

Question is, will the refrigerator during its normal operation stay warm enough to keep the ice maker water flow valve from freezing?? Yep I know its cold and ice will not be used a lot but I like ice for my diet drinks.

    Thanks for the link

    I should have said the refer size and location it is a Norcold 4 door and the valve is behind the access door to the refer in a class A. I think that is common to a lot of rigs.

    On edit I have done most of the items listed on the list that applied to me I was thinking about putting in a trouble light but can only get 60 watt I did not think about blocking the two of the three vents on the access door. If all else looks bad I will DC the line and drain it and just get ice at Wallyworld.

    Hi,

    That would depend on where the valve is. Here is a thread on Winter Camping that has the fridge information and many other useful ideas.
