well David I think you're right that we should maybe get rid of the fridge.
I know that I advocated against this but I would be willing to handle putting
it on craigslist and giving it away. Partially because I don't think sudoroom
needs a fridge right now and it's more trouble than it's worth.
I think it makes more sense to contribute our cleaning and maintenance and
funds energy toward the communal fridge outside the front door.
So my proposal is to let me find the Sudoroom fridge a new home via craigslist.

that was veto’d because
the spoiled fridge is a really nice model

I defer to your judgement patrik re the uv-c;
however I think it could be
done safely? if:
- eyeglasses protective against UV-c are worn the entire time the UV-c
bulb is being handled or used.
- while being handled, the uv-c bulb is attached to an extension cord
that is physically unplugged in to the wall.
- the uv-c bulb (attached to the unpowered extension cord) is placed in a
fridge compartment with all shelving removed, and the compartment door is
closed as much as possible (is left open just a crack allowing the cord
through.) An electrostatic air purifier could be run at the same time.
- 2 tarps are placed over the entire fridge, with a sign taped on front
stating for safety reasons, stating not to touch tarp / DNH unless you are
the person cleaning the fridge.
- with the fridge thusly tarped, only then is the extension cord powering
the UV-c is plugged into wall, powering on the uv-c light.
- the fridge is directly monitored by the person working on the fridge,
for 1-hour per fridge compartment, who could work on their laptop or
another task while this was happening.
- the extension cord is physically unplugged from the wall prior to
shifting the light from one compartment to another, and prior to lifting
the tarp for any reason.
- after it is finished, with the extension cord unplugged, the bulb is
also immediately disconnected from the extension cord and placed back in a
box well-labeled with warning etc.
Do you think such precautions would be adequate?

I don't think a UV-C bulb is the best way to
go - those things can be
bloody dangerous for anyone looking at them without the proper goggles -
but we do happen to have one in CCL.
I would recommend getting a good mask rated for mold spores - an
N95/KN95 should do - and liberally spraying down the interior with bleach.
I support paying Lovi if that is what it takes to get it done, and I'd
be happy to pitch in for an hour or two.
