If away for a long time is it best to turn off refrigerator and freezer or leave running on low temperature?

It depends on the length of time you will be away. If you will be away for a week or less, it is generally recommended to leave your refrigerator and freezer running. However, if you will be away for longer than a week, it is best to turn off your refrigerator and freezer and empty them. This will help to save energy and prevent food from spoiling.

Here are some tips for turning off your refrigerator and freezer:

* Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer.

* Defrost the freezer if it is not self-defrosting.

* Clean the inside of the refrigerator and freezer.

* Turn off the power to the refrigerator and freezer.

* Prop open the doors of the refrigerator and freezer to prevent mildew from forming.

When you return home, you can turn the refrigerator and freezer back on and allow them to cool down before restocking them with food.
