1. Some residentials have a bypass plug that is installed when the in refer water filter is removed
2. The in refer water filter will REMOVE the pink from RV antifreeze and will come out clear
3. What we do is,
A. install a jumper to the Icemaker motor water solenoid and blow it out with compressed air
B. IF you have a combo water AND ice thru the door you must then push the lever to open the water fill solenoid. Be advised that there is a water tank on the back wall of the refer(inside) that fills up to get the chilled water. THAT water will usually not all be pushed out, but most will. As long as the water solenoids are blown out you will have no freezing problems.
4. This is a GOOD time to throw out the old refer water filter and buy a new one to install in the spring. Doug
How & where is a "jumper"attached to the Icemaker motor water solenoid? Is this jumper a water line or an electric wire? TIA!
There are just 2 brands of Icemaker model types. The 1 model Icemaker you take the white plastic motor cover off and you will have some holes in the front case with letters by each hole. You insert a wire between V and L and either close the freeze door or tape the light switch closed and this will activate the water solenoid for the icemaker (NOT for water thru the door). The OTHER type, you must manually cycle the Icemaker 3 or 4 times while blowing out. There is usually not enough access from the back outside access door to get to the water solenoid. Doug
