My whole family will be out of town for three weeks. I plan to turn

nothing bad. Any comments? I'll leave the refrigerator on. If water

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.

TDD

fine, FWIW, Ive seen it happen more than once. I've charged every time it
happened, so go for it. Empty what, you turn off water it still has
pressure in it unless youre smart enough to drain the outside sill cock.
