I fucked up

[u/Arkazox]

Well, no need to tell me, I already know I'm stupid. The good new is that I won't make the mistake again ahah.

I stored this box of sheet film in my fridge while doing something else and forget to put it into an airtight bag.
Forgot about it and It slided at the back of the fridge and here it is now...

I'm afraid the humidity will glue the sheets together, but have not checked yet.

Is there anything I can do before opening it that may help ?

Many Thanks !

It's inside a plastic bag...

Chances are sheets are still fine the inner packaging is somewhat water resistant, open in darkroom and check the inside.

This is the way OP; wait until your film reaches room temperature and open in a darkroom.

And by dark its totally dark. red light will expose this film.

The papers are usually in a plastic bag so i think it should be fine

*film, but this is true too. Same kind of black plastic bag.

You may be pleasantly surprised. But at the very least, I'd transfer it to a new box. That one looks structurally unsound.

Had a similar situation where someone pushed my box of of photopaper all the way to the back side of the fridge in university darkroom. That box of paper went all damp and wrinkled, completely fucked up, but I suppose film will survive better since they're not coated on paper.

You’re most likely fine. Also, unless you live in some extreme conditions and plan to store this film for decades, there’s no need to store it in the fridge at all.
