We lost power for two days due to the blizzard in the northeast US. Ice in the ice maker melted and shorted out the ice maker, water dispenser, lighting, etc. If we’d remembered to dump it into a sink we even could have used the melted ice for flushing toilets, washing hands, etc. If you’d like to keep the ice as long as possible, empty it in a ziploc bag and put it back in the freezer.
