FWIW, this is also great advice from an insurance point of view. I went on a 3 month trip and took pictures of all the appliances before leaving--mostly for peace of mind, but also because the building was fairly old and had a history of leaking pipes, faulty outlets, etc.
Sure enough, a month into the trip and my downstairs neighbor has his bathroom ceiling fall in due to a leaky drain pipe in my shower. I had photo proof that the water wasn't on or leaking and the building's insurance policy ended up renovating both of our bathrooms. Came back to a brand new rainfall shower and granite countertops.
