When we moved it back in place we reconnected but didn't go inside the trailer. That was 3 weeks ago. Well...We are leaving for FDR SP on Saturday morning, so I went into the trailer to get things ready. Open the fridge and *(GAG ME!)* Mildew everywhere! I bleached the heck out of everything, threw away the mayo, mustard, salad dressing, etc that I keep in there all the time. I can't get the mildew staining off the fridge seal. What can I do? Can i replace the seal, maybe? I don't want to have to replace the fridge. If that's the answer, we'll just have to live with the black spots. ERk.

Let the spray sit for a little while, to work into it, then scrub....it should come clean, or at least be cleaner.
