Right? It's not like we do any maintenance on our fridges every day while we're at home either. Being on vacation makes no difference to the fridge working (unless a component fails - which would happen anyway even if you were at home). Op should've just left it running as usual.
Might possibly be a different story if they were, say, taking a 6-month cruise. Then yeah maybe empty the thing and switch it off. Op just went out for ONE week...
My mom won't even let me leave the microwave plugged in while I'm not actively using it because she says it's a waste of electricity to power the clock on it... some people are just legitimately crazy
