You're going to have to "air the fridge out" if it's not plugged in. As with a home refrigerator, unless it is ABSOLUTELY DRY AND CLEAN it will start to mold and smell in a day or two. So, you've either got to use those "blue thingies", keep the door open another way or leave the reefer turned on. If you're storing it at a commerical site, I'd recommend not leaving the refrigerator turned on. If you do, on propane, you'll run your batteries down in about 4 or 5 days, if you leave it plugged in to shore power and run on AC, any interrupted power will also cause the reefer to smell terrible.
Is there a way to open the reefer door, then close the slide? Possibly that would be a "work around" until you get the dealer to address it.
The RV is designed (or should have been) so the reefer can be left open during storage. If the center island is too close, then the dealer should do whatever is necessary to remedy the situation. You simply can't walk away from a reefer after using it for a few days and expect it to be dry enough to not mold !!!!!
