Refrigerator has a strong unpleasant odor.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before deep cleaning.

Steps to remove odors:

• 1. Remove all food: Discard any spoiled items. Store good food in a cool box temporarily.
• 2. Clean interior: Wash all shelves, drawers, and walls with a solution of baking soda and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• 3. Clean drain and pan: Clear the defrost drain and clean the rear drain pan to remove stagnant water and slime.
• 4. Clean gaskets: Wipe door seals with mild detergent and dry to prevent mold.
• 5. Deodorize: Place an open box of baking soda or a fridge deodorizer inside to absorb residual smells.
