Releases would usually be at the top.
But if you intend to replace the unit... then you could plastic over the entire unit like they do for heat loss in the winter.
That seal should be tight enough so that it would trap the mold spores.

But you probably have more mold in the room, and would need to occasionally replace the plastic and tape.

Once a mold spore gets some condensation, it starts to grow... if it can't get the cellulose food that it needs, it will turn black and go inactive waiting for better conditions.
But rolling up the plastic, replacing it, and throwing the old one away would work.
