Any idea where smells can hide in the guts of a fridge?

In the walls,and gaskets.
If a top freezer under the floor plate in the freezer,
and in the duct work of the air circulator fan.
Tricky to get rid of.
Depending how long you can live without a frig
you could take everything out and put in bowls
of chlorine bleach water and let them evaporate
through the entire box while running. Takes a couple of days.
Then turn the box off ,open the door and let air out
a couple of days.
