Not sure about the switch, I'm assuming it has one.

The fridge ran overnight and was unplugged the next day. We had both assumed the watery ice was from the freezer drawer left open.
The compressor ran very quiet as normal when restarted. I'm assuming this indicates the bearings/etc. are still o.k.

Update: Just got off the phone with the young serviceman. He handed me off to a senior tech who will call back tomorrow. The water in the system is not completely flushable so he said. I assume they'll want to sell me the $330 compressor to make sure their end is covered. But with a month or so guarentee, that doesn't much have legs a few years from now.

[/rant] thx for listening to this petty home appliance debacle.
