Strong unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator even after basic cleaning.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before deep cleaning.

• Empty and clean: Remove all food and shelves. Wash interior surfaces with a solution of baking soda and warm water.
• Clean gaskets: Gently scrub door seals and folds where residue can accumulate.
• Drain cleaning: Clear and flush the defrost drain to remove trapped organic material.
• Air out: Leave doors open for several hours to ventilate. Place an open box of baking soda or activated charcoal inside to absorb odors.
