I have a refrigerator that has been uncovered outside in rain and snow
for a month and its about 20 out now, I brought it inside where its
warm and wonder how long it should sit and dry out, would 24 hours be
enough.


If it doesn't have any fancy electronic controls and just the basic
t-stat I'd try it in 24 hours. *Maybe point a small heater at it in the
rear facing the compressor area.


I'd at least use a meter to take an ohm reading between the hot wire
of the plug and the metal casing first
