Smelly Fridge

We are full timers and our fridge just started to smell. We have cleaned everything including putting bleach water down the drain. Nothing is touching the smell. It is only the fridge, not the freezer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Put an open box of baking soda in there. It should remove the smell unless something is hidden and rotting.

We did that too. We have gone through everything in the fridge and cleaned all items with soapy water and completely cleaned the fridge too. Just wondering if something can go wrong inside that would cause this. It smells like rotten milk.

Look it over real good outside. I believe if you see yellow you have a bad unit. You are sure that the drain is clear.

We will look it over good and see what we can find. We have a new drain hose and it drains great. Thank you

Try putting some charcoal briquettes in it. Also might try wadding up a bunch of newspaper & putting that in it.
