The norcolds are sort of sealed but the several I have seen were pretty minimal at best(sloppy) and one could easly loose AC or heat and have bugs come and go. I sealed my upper vent to keep dust and dirt out but my lower vent comes with built in mini grills in the air vent slots so no bugs would get in there and it allows cool air to be drawn in by the compressor cooling fan so I say leave the lower vent to do just that vent especially in hot weather
Good luck when your water line to the ice maker freezes. My Samsung RF18 uses inside air for thermal transfer. Leaving the vent open to freezing weather is a quick way to find yourself pulling the fridge because of a broken water line.
Many have learned the hard way.
My MH never sees cold weather useage. I winter in SC If there is a couple cold days before I leave I leave the furnace run
If I don't go south I winterize like most would do
Using cooler air for compressor cooling works effectively in hot weather of course not required but its there so I take advantage of it
the water line at ice maker is the one to the LPG fridge and it was insulated form the factory so nothing has changed so if no problem with old fridge then none anticipated with new- one simple as that
