Darla on Sep 03, 2015Get some of that enzyme spray for cleaning up pet accidents. Spray thoroughly and leave it for a couple of hours or overnight, then clean again with regular cleaner. That spray is the best for cleaning any kind of organic (blood, food, etc.) dirt.Helpful Reply

Beadcarver on Sep 03, 2015There may not be a good answer. You need to keep it running. Put in a bowl of vinegar. In all likely hood your refrigerator is toast. I had to toss one two years ago. It would not hurt to call the manufacture for some help. There may suggest a service call.Helpful Reply

Vicky Weathers on Sep 03, 2015The best hint I ever got for this problem came from an AG Teacher. He said buy cheap real vanilla, place in an open bowl and keep the door shut for as long as possible. You might have to repeat after several days, but this actually works after you have wiped the fridge down beforehand.Helpful Reply

Dfm on Dec 26, 2015okay...this post may be a bit late but it may help the next person...did cleaning it thoroughly mean getting the creases of the door seals? is there a condensation catcher pan under the fridge? if so clean it as well. are there any cracks in the interior of the fridge? there is a product used to clean up pet messes -Dr.foster and smith odor logic cleanaway. it's enzyme action works well for warm stinky fridges. also check water lines for trapped stagnate water and mold.Helpful Reply
