I have done both with the refrigerator, but now we turn the fridge off and prop the doors open.
It's what to do about the johns that I can't seem to find the right answer for.

If you are concerned that the toilets may go dry, you can seal the toilet bowls with saran wrap to prevent evaporation. Also, if you have the Kohler toilets that the builder installs, they are a two flush type. This means that if you press the handle down and release it immediately, you will only use about a half gallon of water. But, if you press the handle down and hold it for a few seconds, you will get a stronger flush that uses about 2 gallons. I would suggest giving each toilet a strong flush before leaving for vacation, as that will leave more water in the bowl, and also flush some of the dirt out of the tank.
