empty contents of fridge wipe out with warm water and a little lemon juice then cover a tray or plate with kitchen foil and fill with charcoal put in fridge over night and the charcoal absorb es all nasty ouders then in morning remove plate or tray it should have no smells at all
Could it be that you did not clean out the drain or the drain pan? That is often overlooked...at any rate, put in an open box of baking soda to absorb the orders, and things should be fine
Put some bicarbonate of soda in it. That absorbs the smells.
After cleaning wipe down with vinegar water. It smell at first give it about 20 min or so and it will eliminate the smell. Then put a box of Baking Soda. Good luck.
Cut a lemon in half and it will absorb the smell and then you can get fridge fresh it's shaped like an egg and it sits in your fridge and lasts for ages and i think there only 99p or about that.
Remove any removable parts including fan covers. Often liquid seeps into these areas unseen, especially fan enclosures between freezer and cooler.
Also pull the fridge away from the wall and remove (if you can) a back panel to look for debris or a dead animal.
Another thing is the defrost drip pan usually removed from the front to clean.
Lemon or baking soda may help a little but doesn't fix the cause.
if you have totally tried everything i GUARANTEE what will work!! make a largish dish shaped holder out of foil about the size of a dinner plate, fill it with COAL, leave it on the middle shelf, if the smell is realllyyyyy unbearably bad dont use the fridge for a couple of weeks and change the coal for new coal every 4 days for a few weeks, it will totally get rid of the smell
empty the fridge of all contents,and get some of that barbecue charcoal.put it on a tray and leave in the fridge overnight.the charcoal will absorb all odours.
According to Kim and Aggie on How Clean is Your House, a tray of charcoal placed in the empty fridge and repeated if necessary will absorb all smells.
Bicarbonate of soda is a useful product to have in the house and very good for deodorising. Wipe the fridge surfaces with a damp cloth and bicarb (baking soda), rinse and this should do it, or leave a cup or saucer, other small container, with a little dry bicarb, in the fridge overnight, and see if that does the trick.
