Something Dead Under Fridge??!! Help!!!

This happened to me when I lived in Georgia- there was a horrible smell in the kitchen- it smelled like rotten chicken or something dead- after several miserable days, my dad suggested looking underneath the fridge for a pan that collects water- sure enough, I pulled it out and OMG! Bleh! It was horrible, there was all sorts of fuzzy mold and yucky stuff floating in the water- apparently the fan that is suppose to evaporate the water quit working so it just piled up and got gross- I dumped it out and soaked the pan in bleach for about an hour and then rinsed it off and put it back and no more stinky kitchen.

If there's no other way and you're sure it's the fridge you can call a fridge repair man, handman, etc. and have them take it apart for you.

Or the cheaper way is to call the company, explain the problem and see if they can send you an efile on how to remove any external parts you can to clean the inside yourself.

We had a strong dead animal smell in our last house...it was definitely in the kitchen. We looked EVERYWHERE and could not find anything. It also seemed to come & go. Finally O. day my husband looked UNDER the fridge..there was a dead mouse up on the coils...so it was up off the floor but when the fridge would kick on--smell! Gross but we were glad to finally find it.

I had a horrible smell in my kitchen once. It seemed to be most noticable around the sink. Finally I realized that there was a dead mouse in my garbage disposal! I had to put a glove on and pull it out GROSS!!! Is your fridge near your garbage disposal? LOL
