I have an old fridge (old like in 1950s-- with a rounded door and

It works just fine-- on the warmest setting everything gets very cold
(perhaps 35 degrees) and since that works I haven't tried it on any
other settings.
I use it only a few times a year, when I'm having a barbecue and have
a lot of food and beverages to store.
It occurred to me that instead of keeping it in my basement, where it
takes up space and heats up the basement when I turn it on, I could
simply leave it outside, closer to my grill and where the guests
gather.
But then it'd be outside all winter long also (I could cover it if
need be; it'd be below my deck).
Anybody know if there's any harm in leaving it outside, unplugged,
with the door open?
thanks,
I imagine that it would be pretty hard on the cabinet to be exposed to
the elements. Also it could be a liability; I'd bet something that
old would have a positive door latch, you wouldn't want to have a kid
end up locked inside there. (you'd think that that wouldn't happen,
but it must have at least often enough that you'll never find a modern
fridge with a door latch; they're all held shut by the little magnet
strips on the door seals and the fact that you set them up just a hair
off level so that the door swings shut by itself.)
Personally I think you should give it to me for a garage fridge
because I have a serious thing for '50s cool stuff and I'll find you
something a couple decades more modern off Craigslist 
(can't
guarantee it won't be Harvest Gold though G)

You wouldn't want it Nate, it's a Mitsubishi fridge. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.
This is more funny than Will and Grace.
Hey, at least I'm trying to offer some helpful advice, unlike some
people. You're about one post away from plonksville.
Do you deny that Mitsubishi cars are pieces of ****? That's useful
advice, too.
