Residential fridge during Storage

Our new FW has a residential fridge. Long story short, about 40 hours after we owned it, we were on vacation. In a week we'll be home, and taking it to our storage spot.

Out TT had a regular rv fridge, with the props to keep the doors open.

What are we to do about the residential during storage?

I contacted Frigidaire and asked them the same question. They said to turn the refrigerator off, make sure to drain the water lines and leave the doors open.

Keep it plugged in and fill the fridge with beer so then each day when you tell the wife you are going to check on the trailer you have cold refreshments waiting for you.

definitely turn off the invertor/inverter. I leave mine closed and place baking powder inside it. Or is it baking soda. I "ferget".

Yep, fold a towl over the door, also make sure your battery is disconnected, or turn off the inverter in case the inverter has bypassed the disconnect and then take the negative battery post off. The inverter will run the battery to 0. I say this as my dads Silverback was wired with the inverter bypassing the battery disconnect. We fixed that real quick by adding another disconnect at the stock inverter.
