Refrigerator - Stinks

When there is a stench coming from the refrigerator, it is often easy to solve yourself. Sometimes a thorough cleaning is enough to solve the problem. This can be done with soapy water and soda for example. Don't forget to wash your fridge with water and a cloth.

The smell often comes from places that are less likely to be cleaned, such as the cracks, the door rubber or the drain. If the smell is coming from the door rubber, consider replacing it. If the refrigerator continues to stink after you clean it, there may also be something leaking under or behind the refrigerator that has started to stink. If so, possibly move the refrigerator and clean it properly.
