No snakes, no sewer gas. We shut off the water to the house when we left, put the air conditioner on 83.

It might could have happened, but it didn't. That is what we were told to do.
Hi Gracie. It did happen to my NY dishwasher. When we returned to NY the seals were shot. Perhaps because of the difference in temperatures had something to do with the faulty seal as was the dishwasher was ten years old. [But whatever the reason, I try to run the dishwasher Both in NY and FL) when away for a long period of time. Whether it will happen to anyone in TV is uncertain but it doesn't hurt to be safe.
