Fridge for storage

We have an old Kelvinator, that finally kicked the bucket after moving to the new residence. It has now sat for 4 months, and I have cleaned it thoroughly with bleach and installed closet camels etc to absorb any moisture (to prevent the dreaded mold forming). I have had the camels in for a week now, and NO precipitate in the buckets, so I assume it is actually fairly dry in there.

So, I put my Tak FSQ in the freezer compartment, and the rest of the gear in the fridge.

Can anyone see there being potential mold issues here? Should I install a low power UV source to help prevent mold? Any other tricks?

I just don't want to take the Tak out one night and see spores all over or worse, UNDER the objective! I have installed desiccant packs in the lens caps anyway.

I am thinking the semi-hermetic nature of a fridge (even though OFF), should help prevent mold. Please advise if I have the idea bass akwards.
