I had crab legs in the fridge and some of the liquid leaked...now it smells like fish. I have wiped and sprayed and it still smells! Any ideas???
You may need to clean the drip pan and the drain. I could be that there is "gunk" built up there that is causing the odor.
Check the drainage tray under the fridge. It may be in the back, or remove the front bottom grill. It can hold moldy water.

Wash it out with warm water and a tinch of pine cleaner. Also put two open boxes of baking soda in the fridge. Keep it there for about 3 months, and shake the box every now and then. Use the old baking soda for washing cutting boards, the sink, and whatever else you have.
Maybe something is under it?
Did something go bad in it and seep into the crevasses? Next check the drainage area for any nasty build up? Use the baking soda and water to clean, do the freezer too. Keep baking soda in the box in the refrig to absorb and odors, switch out every couple of months and date the boxes so you know when you put it there.
Use bleach water to wipe it down and also get the rubber seal.
