Bad odor inside refrigerator even after removing spoiled food.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before deep cleaning or removing panels.

Steps:

• Deep clean interior: Remove all shelves and bins. Wash with a solution of baking soda and warm water. Dry thoroughly.
• Clean drain pan: Access the rear bottom and remove the drain pan. Clean with mild detergent and disinfectant, then reinstall.
• Replace deodorizing filter: If your Sharp model has an air filter or deodorizer cartridge, replace it with a Sharp-compatible filter.
• Air out the unit: Leave doors open for several hours (with power off and food removed) to allow odors to dissipate.
