Question for all you folks with the residential refrigerators (Whirlpool) in a Challenger, how many days does it take to de-winterize the ice maker? My unit was winterized by the factory or dealer and I have had the ice maker running for 24 hours. It is just now getting to the point where the cubes are coming out semi solid and I am starting to see a fade in the pink color.

Based on the way it is going, my estimate is that this operation is going to take somewhere around three days.

For future reference if someone has a better method I'm open to suggestion. My thought is to disconnect the ice make line, allow gravity to remove as much anti-freeze as possible and crack the valve open to bleed the line to the valve. I think this will still require time to get out the stuff inside the ice maker through the slush, dilution and freeze method.

Again, I'm open to suggestions for the future.
