Sanitize Ice Maker line to Res Unit?

Dewinterizing today and thought about the residential unit with ice maker. Did not run antifreeze thru it but drained the lines to frig as instructed by manual, you guys and dealer. Flushed anti freeze out of lines except those to ice maker. The valve to ice maker lines are closed. Now, assume as I am sanitizing the camper need to run bleach/water blend thru ice maker lines also??? Also assume the frig and ice maker should be turned on to get all lines sanitized with ice maker cycling at least once. First winter/spring with new camper. Thanks,

I asked about bleach since Montana said no to running antifreeze thru frig.

Why do you think you have to sanitize the ice maker lin?, example in a house you are gone for 6 months and return, do you sanitize it?, we have never done it at home or the RV, but if you want to just add bleach to the fresh water tank and run your water pump to send it where you want, turn on the ice maker and do the same, then drain the tank flush well and run water to everything including the ice maker

After you sanitize with bleach, if that is what you wish to do, I would just run a couple batches of cubes like when you do on initial start up.
