I have been asked to help winterize a house- power is off, it is on a private well. I have drained the water heater and pressure tank, opened all faucets and hit the toilets and all traps with RV antifreeze. If power were available I would run air thru the lines- I hope gravity is enough.
The one thing that I'm not sure of is the dishwasher- should I pull the supply line and drain line, and pour antifreeze thru the bottom of the unit?

Yes and it the house has a washing machine you need to winterize it the same way.

If the referigerator has a icemaker you need to drain that line also.

The washing maching will have to be disconnected and you will have to get RV antifreeze into the washer pump.
