Ice Maker Storage
To prepare the ice maker for seasonal storage:
1. Close the vehicle water supply valve to the ice maker.
2. Push the ice maker arm up until it locks into the OFF position.
3. Remove the garden hose adapter from the water solenoid valve.
4. Remove the ice maker water line from the water solenoid valve
- Do not unwrap the water line heater wires from around the water solenoid valve.
5. Drain all of the water from both the water supply line and the ice maker water line.
6. Put the end of the water supply line, the end of the ice maker water line, and the water solenoid valve each into a clean plastic bag.
7. Use tape to close each plastic bag around the water lines and the water solenoid valve.
Door Sealing
Check the seal of the doors (See Art00980).
If a door does not seal correctly, excess frost will collect inside the refrigerator. Make sure the
doors seal correctly:
- Close each door on a piece of paper that is about the size and thickness of a dollar bill.
- Gently pull the paper.
- You should feel a slight drag between the gasket and the cabinet.
- Do this on all four sides of the door.
- If you do not feel a slight drag on the paper, the door does not seal correctly.
- Have your dealer or an authorized Norcold Service Center correct the seal of the door.
Refrigerator Storage
Before the refrigerator is stored for an extended (seasonal) period of time:
- Clean the interior of the refrigerator.
- Do not close the doors completely.
If the refrigerator is stored for an extended period of time, before start up:
- Make sure there are no obstructions in the vents, the ventilation air pathway, the burner, the orifice, or the flue area.
