I am in the process of draining my system, but have an issue on with the ice maker in the Norcold. I believe the Solenoid is in the exterior cupboad with the gas exhaust. It has a valve but I am unsure since most of the dicussion on this relates to disconnecting pipes, not simply opening a valve. I will try and post the pictures I have taken in the picture section!

Michael:

Following is what I would do, not sure if it's all necessary, but that is what I would do if temperatures were expected to be below 32 F for several days or more while in storage.

A. Open the valve on the blue pipe. ( Most likely already open )
B. Disconnect the hose fitting on the blue valve ( Insure that water pressure is disconnected )
C. Disconnect the white fitting on the blue valve
Allow to drain, that should do it

Might also want to cover valve and fittings with a baggie to protect from dust.
This is the easy one. If you have the washer/dryer, that was the pain itb for me.
