stinking fridge
Hi...
Well, we're trying some of the suggestions here. We emptied the thing and cleaned it all out. One curious thing - when the freezer started to thaw, water started coming out of the gasket on the freezer door. It's still draining after a couple of hours. Would water have condensed inside the door and built up after a while? My wife's afraid to use clorox to evaporate inside because clorox can corrode metal, so she's going to use lysol. But she was concerned about the amount of water coming out of the freezer door. Anyone else seen this? Thanks -Mark |

stinking fridge
Mark, most refrig freezer doors have ice trapped inside them;
especially older ones with fiberglass insulation. Water always drains out of the freezer door when I've had a refrig turned off for a while, working on it. Comes out mostly at the hinges, but also from under the seal and wherever else it can find a 'drain'. 'Have seen it happen for several decades now, and I consider it normal. Hope that's of some help.
