Winterizing a Norcold Icemaker how I did mine

I had to Winterize my coach as the temps are dipping here in Mi. this week. It will only be a few weeks and I will head to the sunny south for the winter.
I wanted to make sure the icemaker was protected and having read the instructions for winterizing they stated putting in the pink and then allowing the Ice maker to go through a few cycles This would take a few hours.here is what I did instead.
1. removed the hose feed that goes to the control valve. closed the shut off to the ice maker and put air through it. ( I had already used the air compressor to blow out the lines. then opened the shut off and let the air clear the line.
2. Removed the feed line from the control modual and let any water drain down.then reattach the control valve line and the water line coming from the supply to the valve.
3. Reapply the air pressure and go to the ice maker and remove the cover from the end inside the freezer compartment. There are several holes in the end of the ice maker near the wheel that rotates. ( mine says do not manually rotae on the wheel ) I jumpered the 2 holes that are to the left of that wheel by skinning back a wire on both end about 3/8 inch each end. Place the jumper wire in both holes and it will open the the water inlet valve. I jumpered this fow a few seconds a couple of times until no water was coming out. shut off the water feed valve. Now there is no water in the line going to or feeding the ice maker.
Then if you want extra protection for the rest of the coach you can apply the pink stuff without having it in your ice maker.
Maybe the rest of the world already knew this but I thought I would pass it along for those that are like me. It seved a bunch of time and no pink in the ice maker.
