My whole family will be out of town for three weeks. I plan to turn
off main valves for water and for gas. To me, this is all good,
nothing bad. Any comments? I'll leave the refrigerator on. If water
line is cut off, will it run OK? Thanks.

The water that supplies the Ice and cold water dispenser will freeze solid.

Nonsense.

I believe the fill tube for the ice maker actually
drains after filling the ice cube mold. The designers
considered it freezing up. Perhaps that's why the
solenoid valve is down by the compressor on most
standard refrigerators. When I wrote drains, I mean
the water tube is made in such a way that it will
empty much like a frost proof outdoor spigot.
