The refrigerator is equipped with a heater tape wrapped around
the water solenoid valve and outlet water tube. During cold
weather operation below 32 °F/0 °C the automatic temperature
switch will turn the heater tape on automatically.
If the RV is in storage and the refrigerator or the DC power is
turned OFF there will be no 12V DC present to operate the
heat tape; therefore, it will be necessary to drain and dry the ice
maker and the water dispenser (if applicable).
This will prevent water from freezing in the solenoid valve or
becoming stale and producing bad tasting ice.
If the ambient temperature is expected to fall below
32 °F/0 °C, the ice maker and water dispenser (if applicable)
must be drained to prevent component damage and leaks. For
instructions, see the following sections

MAKER
