The problem with residential refrigerators is that no thought whatsoever went into the possibility it would be stored in freezing conditions. RV fridges are made with access to the icemaker line so it can be taken loose and drained. About your only hope with a residential is to do the pump-the-antifreeze process and make sure you get pink to the ice maker. All the icemaker plumbing is built inside the fridge shell and not accessible even if the fridge could be easily slid out somehow. (If you are getting pink ice, the anti-freeze isn't working!!)
