Default stinking fridge

Not sure where its coming from but...............

THE BEST way to eliminate the smell is by using charcoal. Its been
proven. Someone left an uncooked chicken in their trunk in Florida for 3
days. Phew!!!! and Crab smell in a fridge.)

Dont buy a bag with the match lite/ easy lighting charcoal. Just a
mixing bowl size of charcoal and let it sit open in the fridge.

Hi...

We have a 5-year-old maytag refrigerator that has started to stink in
the last month and we can't figure out where the smell is coming from.
We've cleaned underneath, vacuumed out the drip pan, removed all the
food, but there's this smell that's particularly prevalent when you open
the door. We've put baking soda in, but we just can't seem to get rid
of it.

My wife says it smells like the compost bin, not like a mouse crawled
in and died.

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

Thanks
