Fridge Odour

Can anyone suggest a remedy to rid the fridge of a bad odour,please

Give it a good clean and put a cup with some bicarbonate of soda at the back of the fridge.

lemon juice. Cut a lemon in half and leave it in the fridge to absorb the whiff.

Wash it out with water with some baking soda in it, then leave some baking soda in a saucer in it overnight.
Should work and certainly won't do any harm.
Assuming, of course, that you have removed the source of the smell.....

Turn it colder?

[ivor4781]

clean it out more regular and wipe the door seals

[woofgang]

is it one of the frost free kind? if so it will have a drain at the back of the fridge at the bottom that lest condensation drain out and evaporate from a tray set over the compressor. 9 times out of 10, in an otherwise clean fridge that smells, that tube has become blocked with mould. What you can do is poke it out with a bit of bendy wire then squirt diluted milton down the hole to clean the tubing and make sure its draining. Give the fridge a good clean out and you are good to go.

The one that I know is similar to 'Retrocops' : Cut a lemon in half squeeze out the juice then pour salt into the empty halves, then do the same.

Which is more effective, I don't know.

I tried Bicarbonate of soda, very successful! Thank you so much, cured!!!
