We don't have a 38CK but on the 38FL there is a low point drain directly below the fridge in the slideout. I open this low point drain, then using a jumper wire to cycle the ice maker 2-3 times to allow the water to drain out completely.
After it is empty and drained for a short time, I close the low point drain and turn off the line into the fridge (shut off is just past the low point drain). And then add some anti-freeze into the system (about 1.5-2.0 gallons).
This process ensures the water is gone, and no anti-freeze gets into the ice maker making spring readiness easier.
Not sure about the Kitchen aide model but our Whirlpool has instructions online on how to use a piece of wire to jump the ice maker to test cycle it.
