Sarawest on Feb 27, 2015Have you checked underneath the stove? Speaking from past experience, you just might have a dead mouse or something equally disgusting, under there!Helpful Reply

Shelby @ The Weathered Barn Studio on Feb 27, 2015...It sounds like either a dead " something ' , as mentioned in the prior posts...or maybe something that was dropped and went UNDER your stove ? Investigation of all parts of your stove might be needed... I would spray straight Vinegar under your stove , first...and let it sit for a few hours to see what happens. If your stove is gas, I would suggest the pilot light be put out temporarily . I had a similar thing happen in my other stove, ( have a different one at present) and it was a dead mousey, in the ' storage drawer ' area....BEHIND it. Ewwwww. not pretty. But was glad it was found.Helpful Reply

Karon Taylor on Feb 27, 2015I've always found baking soda absorbs all odors. Try sitting a dish of it in your oven overnight and I'll bet it does the trick.Helpful Reply

DebbieJG on Feb 28, 2015Use Young Living essential oil, Purification. You can diffuse it in a pot of water on your stovetop, spray a dilution of it around your stove, or put a drop on a cotton ball and place it near your stove. I have used it for multiple odors (shoes, bathroom, refrigerator) and they remain fresh smelling. Check it out here: https://static.youngliving.com/en-US/PDFS/PIP_Purification.pdf . You can purchase it here: www.youngliving.com/debbiejg If it turns out to be a dead mouse the odor will eventually go away and Purification will help in the meantime to clean the air. You can use peppermint oil to keep mice away. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Wendy on Mar 01, 2015Check under and behind the oven. Mice like to hide where it's warm. I once found dead mice behind my oven in the insulation. We also had a mysterious odor.Helpful Reply
