I could take it and turn it around and/or put a chair in front of the door, if it came to that, along with blocking it open slightly.
Anyway, you all answered my question, and helped me to think about what to do. Thank you!

I would not leave it plugged in unless you are planning to use it again soon. The frig is one of the bigger energy hogs in a house. Depending on its age, size, where the freezer is in relation to the frig, and the temp outside the frig, it is probably costing you in the range of $15 - $30 / month. A frig in a hot garage can be especially costly.
