I inherited a rather nice beer fridge, but it has evidence of mold/mildew. Can I effectively use StarSan in a spray bottle to rid my fridge of the mold?

Don't waste the StarSan. Use an off-the-shelf mildew remover.
Starsan would work great but yeah, it cost to much. A light bleach and water mix works well.
You can....but If I were you....Bleach all the way!
No reason to mess with it. about a 5% bleach solution (10% if it's super bad) and a sponge, you'll have a sterile fridge in no time flat!

Well star-san in diluted form in a spraybottle is cheaper than an off the shelf mildew remover. I'm not sure it would work but you could try if you like, then make sure you keep it dry and put some damp rid in there to keep down any rust or mildew.
Wow I'm slow, yeah bleach solution would work as well (on hard plastic surfaces) and be cheaper.

+1 to the 10% bleach solution. spray it let it sit for a few minutes and wipe it out

Oxyclean kicks ass too.
I recently had the same problem in my fermenting fridge from a previous fermentation leak/overflow. I dump out enough used Starsan solution, that there's always some available for cleanups like that. It worked great.
in every restaurant I've ever worked in, we used bleach.
