Re: Main Power
For just a few months, would it be better to let your fridge run? We go away for 6 months at a time and leave them running. The one time that I did turn off a fridge we came home to find it mouldy and the freezer fan seized. Took a while to clean it up and pull out the fan and free it. Much easier leaving it running.

Re: Main Power
Nothing left in the fridge or freezers. When we switch them off we always clean them out with either white vinegar or bleach and also leave the doors wide open.
