airdvr 210 #1 May 10, 2007 For awhile now there's been a funny smell coming from my fridge. No...it's not rotten food. I've completely emptied it and cleaned it out. It's more of a chemical smell. If I knew what refrigerant smelled like I could say it was leaking. But it's been like this for over a month now so I would think that the refrigerant would have leaked out completely by now. Any ideas?Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keka 0 #2 May 10, 2007 if you've cleaned and can not find where it comes from... I would suggest you to get a box of Baking soda (you can get at Walmart for a buck or less) and leave in the fridge for 3 months. it helps with bad odors.http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org PMS#551 I love my life :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yardhippie 0 #3 May 10, 2007 Is it inside or outside the fridge? Most units have catch pans both inside and outside the units. These can collect water/food ect. When that stuffs goes off, you get a smell. if it was refrigerant leaking, it would not cool well, and eventually quit cooling completely. Freon has a strong smell too, and it would become more pronounced when the unit kicked on (most likely).Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
