Turn it off. If nothing else, you'll save somewhere around 200+ kWh of electricity, which for me would mean perhaps $50 worth.
As others said, clean it and leave the door ajar. Double-check that the interior light (assuming you have one) isn't staying on all the time with it shut off; if so, removing the bulb or the 12V fuse for the fridge should fix that.
I don't think there's any real benefit in terms of longevity to leaving it running. The fridge cycles on and off as it runs in any case.
