We always left ours running when we were away for a few months before moving here full time. Never had a problem in years. We also had the bowl filled with water and after it froze, placed a penny on top of the ice. When we came back, if the penny was on the bottom, we knew the fridge had been off long enough for the ice to thaw, and therefore the food would be bad also. But, it was always on top, and we had something to eat and drink as we unpacked. Worked for us. The first year we gave away tons of stuff, and threw away even more and left the fridge off with doors opened. Didn’t make sense so we went with leaving it on, just shutting off ice maker.
