Smelly Fridge

Hi ladies!

I need some help with our fridge.  It's got an odor that I can't get rid of; it doesn't smell like rotting food but more just that "eau de fridge" that you get when your baking soda is too old.  But I just replaced the baking soda a few weeks ago, and deep cleaned the shelves and everything, and it still smells. Any ideas?  Thanks!!

Re: Smelly Fridge

  • Did you remove the drawers at the bottom to see if something has leaked & is down there?     I once thawed out some meat in the fridge & it leaked to the bottom & had a bad odor until I could figure out the problem

    Yup, cleaned out under the drawers, too.  Thanks for the suggestion, though!

  • Try putting a cup or so of apple cider vinegar in a bowl for about 2 days. That should help.  The other thing I do, is to put a few drops of lemon/orange essential oil on a paper towel and just put it in there...  good luck. :-)
  • We had an apple juice accident in the fridge, and I didn't take the shelves themselves out and wipe the walls of the fridge where the shelves attach, or the attaching edge of the selves themselves.  The fridge smell was gone after that last step. Hope you find something soon, I know it's frustrating every single time you have to open the fridge!
