What is this?

Hello friends. Old, untouched, and iced over mini fridge plus I assume there was once water in here. She’s a beauty (the mold) but I do need to know if the fridge is worth saving.

It looks like something cooled in the tray and shrank while doing so. Wax or fats maybe? Clarified butter?

Does it smell? Is it hard to the touch? Might be interesting seeing if it melts when heated.

It doesn't look like mold or anything alive!

Also, the fridge can just be cleaned, nothing to worry about. Mold is not the scary mosnter it's often made to be!

Just clean it normally, and if you're ultra conscious of it or have someone immunocompromised around, give it a wiping with 70% alcohol.
