Fridge smell

[chazza]

My fridge, although it has been emptied and cleaned out, has a rotten smell (like sick).

Are there any old wives tales or cleaning products especially for removing smells from fridges?

I have one of those egg shaped "smell removers" but it doesn't work

Looks like ground coffe works

Place a dish of Bicarb in the fridge... it works :D

[mandimoo]

yes, i have heard bicarb works too. if the fridge is switched off for any amount of time you should leave the door open to help reduce smelly build ups.

I've tried bicarb but didn't notice a difference. I'll try a larger amount!
Thanks for the link 4get, some interesting stuff there!

Wash the fridge with either lemon juice,or vinegar,or bicarb mixed with water. They are all odour neutralisers.
Then place a full, opened box of bicarb in the fridge. That SHOULD help.

Place a peeled and halved onion in the fridge. It works for us.

grated nutmeg in boiled water,but then your fridge will smell like the nutmeg,so.......you'd better like the aroma of nutmeg!

Can you get to the back of the fridge?If so, try cleaning the drain from the back see if that helps.

mix up a bowel of warm water and a few drops of lavander oil also a few table spoons of white wine viniger wipe over place a small bowl of uncooked rice in fridge this will obsorb the smell and leave overnight if this dont work maybe time for a new one

We had an older refrig. w/ same problem. The repairman showed us a drain pan flush underneath the bottom of the refrig. that needed to be cleaned out. I don't know if all had them or not, or if certain models. It was groady........it relates to the drainage hole the above answer refered to.
Good Luck!

check a little compartment behind the fridge. It contains drainage from inside the fridge. Clean that and check the little whole inside the fridge which drains the water from melted ice and pour a little dettol and let it run through. Just did mine. It worked. Hope it helps.
