Heading off on a four-month vacation requires more than just packing a suitcase. Before locking your doors you\u2019ll usually want to ensure that your electronics are switched off, among other important things. But as one TikToker\u2019s parents learned the hard way, if you\u2019re leaving the fridge on, then it\u2019s best you don\u2019t take out the ice maker container before you leave. TikToker Sara Hayward shared a hilarious clip showing her parents getting a frosty surprise upon opening their fridge door after returning from holiday and it\u2019s already racked up more than 12.8 million views. Hayward shared her parents\u2019 comical experience on her own TikTok account, writing, \u201cMy parents got back home from traveling for 4 months and sent me this. Apparently you have to turn off the ice maker and not just take it out of the door!\u201d In the clip, Hayward\u2019s mother sets the scene by saying, \u201cAfter four months, we thought the ice maker would have stopped but we think it kept going, so let\u2019s see what happens.\u201d Fortunately, Hayward\u2019s parents prepared a large tarp that was placed on the floor as the pair seemed to be well aware of what was about to unfold. After several attempts to open the door, the freezer door finally opens, and ice cubes immediately begin falling onto the floor. As the door begins to open further, Hayward\u2019s mother bursts into uncontrollable laughter after realizing that the freezer is absolutely packed with ice cubes. In the comments section, people were not just stunned by the incredible number of ice cubes falling out of the freezer upon opening but were baffled for a variety of other reasons, too. One user asked, \u201cDoesn\u2019t the ice maker have a sensor to stop it when the receptacle is full?\u201d It seems that is usually the case, but because Hayward\u2019s parents removed the ice container, it just kept going for the four months that they were away. Another user saw the bright side of the situation, writing, \u201cAt least you know nothing thawed.\u201d Which is certainly a handy takeaway after returning from a four-month vacation. But arguably the most helpful comment of all was from one user with a fridge that\u2019s seemingly lacking in performance, who shared, \u201cThe one Samsung fridge with a working ice maker.\u201d The comment prompted responses from other TikTok users who suggested that they should call the number inside the freezer, and a Samsung representative will fix the issue as long as the fridge is under warranty. As for the icy surprise, Hayward revealed that her parents \u201clearned their lesson\u201d about removing the ice maker container.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikToker\u2019s parents return to a frosty surprise after leaving ice maker on for 4-months TikTok: twoticketstosaradiseA TikToker\u2019s parents have returned home after a four-month vacation to a freezer full of ice cubes after a crucial ice maker mistake.
