How to winterize residential refrigerator??
I have a residential refrigerator with water connection. Suggestions on how to winterize it. I opened up the back panel and could not find any instructions or valves. Thanks guy’s, David

We have a GE Residential Fridge with an ice maker only. I have read online and watched videos for other refrigerators that have a button or a solenoid that can be jumped to force the ice maker to demand water, but there is nothing in the owners manual about either and I haven't been able to find one looking at the fridge.
Anyway, what I do is just winterize the rest of the RV, then with a mostly full bottle of antifreeze, I just leave the pump on with the suction tube still in the bottle. I leave the fridge on and wait. The first tray of cubes to come out are usually pink ice cubes, then eventually, it'll be mostly slush coming out. Once it is all slush, I know all the water is out and I am done.
When it comes time to de-winterize, we usually wait a few days of making ice cubes, throwing them out as they are made. Then after a few days, all the anti-freeze taste is gone.
