Default Stench in my basement

How about washing the inside with baking soda? Sounds like you might never
get the stench out.

The repairman said the controller needed to be

me for the spoiled food, if I had purchased the
protection plan! Maybe I shoulc have done that.

My problem is the stench is still in my basement,
I keep the door open to make it bearable. This
afternoon I am going to lay it on its side and
clean the underside. Any ideas for making this
place smell livable?

Have you tried Febreze? Might be less rough on plastic components. Not
sure whether a restoration outfit like Servcemaster could help, but
might be worth a phone call. HTH

Look carefully at what Febreeze is. I'm concerned that it is dangerous
to use.
