1 Answer from this member: I recommend removing power or unplug the refrigerator when you are gone for the 6 months. I would continue to leave the doors open for ventilation. Stuffing the refrigerator with newspaper basically would displace volume and so that it may not have to run as often and will absorb odors.
Repeated opening or prolonged opening causes the refrigerator to lose cooling as well as goes for wear and tear. So, how long should a refrigerator last is up to you, if you want your refrigerator to last upto 14 -17 years, you should take care of the factors that determine the lifetime of the refrigerator.
