I keep wondering when I read this thread.. As DVMWEB said, you do not bypass the ice maker.. You simply shut it off, for winterizing you cycle it after you do the first blow out of the lines and that will let the water drain back down where you can then blow it out with the second blow out (you do at least 5-10 blow outs).
Then lift the bail so it does not cycle again.
If you use the rig as I have done in cold weather and are worried about it then you shut off the water to it,... I suspect that's what you are talking about.
But it's not a bypass.
