water supply to Ice maker

Got back to MH last nite and had water running down the side of the MH out of the location for the solenoid for the ice-maker...the small diameter tubing that attaches to the solenoid had separated from the hose type connector...and not having anything to fix it with I just inserted a golf tee and plugged the tubing...Until I can get a part...will this create any issues (other than not using ice-maker)?

    There should be a water shut off valve just before the solenoid. Use that and shut it off. If no valve, simply unplug the ice maker. This will shut off the solenoid also. The fridge will have to be pulled out/forward enough to be able to change that line....Dennis

    OR

    The unit was winterized (in some fashion) but the ice maker was over looked?

    etc etc etc
