Off topic- refrigerator odor
We recently purchased a home that came with all the appliances. They all seem to work fine, stove, frig, dishwasher, washer-drier, etc. But, sometime the prior owner must have had the frig unplugged with something in the freezer section that went really bad, the refrigerator section smells fine. I've taken all the removable plastic liner pannels, the little fan, anything that could be removed from the inside of the freezer and scrubbed them with hot water and pinesol. The odor was gone, for a while then came back. We have used probably ten boxes of baking soda in the last couple weeks, but it just keeps getting worse. It's really anice frig, looking to be ten or less years old, so it would be a shame to throw it out, but the wife says out it goes if the stink can't be cured. Frank.

Thanks for the ideas, we will be going to the new place tomorrow for a couple days to do some other work there. I'll try the bleach, it is kind of a kill or cure situation. I learned today that the utility company there will give you a fifty dollar rebate and haul away the old WORKING frig if you buy a certian level of energy effeciant new one. They didn't say it had to smell good for them to haul it away. We don't have internet service there yet, so I'll let you know how it works out later in the week. Frank.

We had planned to go there today to work on the smelly firge, but as usual a complication popped up, but we'll go there tomorrow. I'll try the different things that have been suggested. Thanks again, I'll report back. Frank.

Looks like the old frige is kaput. We tried all the things that were suggesated, but it still stinks. It must be in the insulation somehow. The stink is gone for a while, but within a few hours it comes back. I called out utility co., they offer a fifty dollar rebate on a new frige that has the blue "Energy Star" label on it plus will pick up the old "Working" frige and give us thirty five dollars for it. Thanks to all who offered their advice, I guess it was just too far gone. Frank.
