HB -- I have a Whirlpool of about the same vintage and am having exactly the same problem (or, my tenant is).
Did you determine the problem? Was there anything you could do other than trash the thing? On Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 7:06:34 PM UTC-6, Higgs Boson wrote: Desperate! For over a month there has been a terrible smell coming from the refrigerator AND the freezer!!! Frig. is a medium-end Whirlpool w/top freezer, about 6-7 years old. I took EVERY item out of the frig, smelled it (nothing) washed the entire frig. section. Did the same with the freezer - where the smell, oddly enough, seems STRONGER! No change; smell still there. IMPORTANT: When I was cleaning out the freezer, the blast of air SEEMED to be carrying the odor. By now, I am so crazy that I'm not even sure of THAT! I asked a handyman who was doing some work for me to smell the frig/freezer. Asked him whether an animal could have crawled behind and died. He sensibly replied that if that were the case, the whole kitchen would smell. So has something gotten into the ?? lines ??? that cool the frig/freezer? Any suggestions gratefully accepted. HB |

Ten years ago, at our apartment, we had a foul
odor issue, which was determined to be the freezer's automatic defroster heater. It had somehow come in contact with the plastic lining in the freezer and was slowly melting it, pro- ducing the stink! Our landlord replaced the fridge on his dime. :) |

I have a similar Whirlpool refrigerator. I am having the same problem, but I know where it is coming from. The evaporator pan under the refrigerator. After getting the unit repaired, a very bad odor soon began coming from down by the removable grill. After searching everything else like most folks here, I finally got behind it and removed the panel at the bottom. I found that the rear of the evaporator pan was coated with a dark, sticky residue that was definitely the source of the smell. I think it might have been from a roast that we thawed in the refrigerator, that ended up leaking a lot of blood before we caught it. I cleaned it out and voila, the smell went away completely. It has been about a week now, and the smell has returned. When checking the same place I discovered these things: 1) There is about 1/4 inch of water in the back of the evaporator pan that is the source of the smell. It is not the same sticky residue, but murky water. 2) The pan is molded so that the back part fills up about halfway before water begins running into the front part. This may be because the fan is blowing right on the back part, and that would be where the fastest evaporation should take place. I'm guessing here, but I know refrigerators have automatic defrost cycles. I'm wondering if somehow, before I had it repaired, the leaking food got down into the system somewhere and froze. Maybe now some of that ice is melting during each auto defrost and running down into the evaporator pan. Until it evaporates it is essentially a bowl of warm water, which would be a great place for bacteria to grow like crazy if food got down there. I think I'll probably be cleaning that out regularly until only clean water drips down there from the defrost cycle as intended. I don't know any way to clean out the system up inside "where spills go." I guess I could try pouring water into the refrigerator compartment to see if it goes all of the way through and runs out in the evaporator pan - but that seems a little risky. What I'd like to find is something to put into the evaporator pan to disinfect dirty water when it drains there, so the water would evaporate before it started to stink. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...ll-762323-.htm |

I had the exact same problem it turned out to be a bad defrost element. Took the frlg apart. The bad element was black. When it took it off and got it outside it was definitely the source of the smell. I had searched threes also and got the same suggestions as you. Nowhere have I found mention of this problem -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...ll-762323-.htm |

Where was that element found? A technician already checked out my refrigerator and said nothing was wrong with it. My fridge was clean as a whistle and he still gave the standard recommendation to use vanilla, baking soda, coffee beans, etc. My refrigerator is less than a year old, and I have had this smell for three months now, so I don't believe that coils could be causing the smell. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...ll-762323-.htm |
