Use a good liquid perfumed soap to clean the inside of the fridge , , repeat in the area that contained the meat. You can use some alcohol to wipe clean this section to take away any traces of bacteria.
Now cut LIME and put it in the compartment doors, the freezer and fridge, use liberally.
There will be freshness in the fridge.

Refrigerator is smelly. Cleaned the inside till it was spotless, the smell remained. What can I do?

Cleaning would not get rid of the smell, just place a piece of charcoal in the fridge and it will remove the smell in due time.

Hope it helps.

How to get a smell out of a hotpoint fridge.we try bread soda.what else can we use

You may have had something drip and somehow get under the fridge. I know blood dripping from meat will smell. It could have dripped down through the defrost drain tube to the pan underneath. You can access the pan from the rear by removing the cardboard cover. If the smell seems to be coming from the pan, it's difficult to remove so I would just pour some bleach in it to kill any smell and you may can wipe it out from there. The drain tube may also have the smell in it so you can pour some bleach into it from the inside of the freezer at the bottom of the rear panel. You can move the fridge to see if anything is pooled on the floor that might smell.

The fridge and freezer smell like a dead animal. cleaned the inside with bleach but still smells for weeks. model w10212088

There are two reasons for bad smells. 1. Long time not being used. 2. Lack of cleaning inside compartment.

Solution: Unplug fridge. Keep open fridge door. Dip a dry cloth in soap water and start cleaning each and every compartment. Keep freezer door also open. And then clean with another dry cloth. Keep both doors open for nearly 5 hrs. It will be enable fresh air to **** the smell inside fridge.
After 5 hrs close the fridge and run on empty for one hour. Keep food items after one hour. Please keep all food items closed vessel. Not only it's avoid odor but also be hygienic.
If you use to keep fish items in freezer, clean fridge once in a week.(Spray roo spray in the room when you keep fridge door opened. Don't spray into fridge.)Helpful.

Kenmore elite ice and freezer smell. Ice tastes disgusting. we have a whole house water filter so the problem is not the water. any thing put in the freezer will end up smelling like the bad ice and the...

Keeping baking soda in the freezer has little chance of actually absorbing any odor causing air because the air is too dense. Two solutions I can recommend is to either turn the freezer to its HIGHEST setting so it doesn't freeze anything and try the baking soda again, or the second is very inconvenient, but I've seen it work, is to unplug the unit and place a container of Damp Rid in it for a couple of days.

Check the inside of the freezer and ensure there are no cracks in the lining as moisture can get in there and cause horrible smells, especially if you have ever put meat (especially poultry) and the package leaked before freezing.

Smell developed in refrigerator, it is thoroughly clean

The drain is at the bottom inside the freezer section. It is possible a piece of something got behind a panel, or otherwise in a "hidden" spot. Or something is in the defrost water tray underneath and every time it defrosts, it gets wet and releases the odor again. Look in the drain pan by removing the kick plate (bottom grate under the doors) and look to see if anything is there. Use a few open boxes of baking soda in the fridge (to absorb odors), and wipe the inside with some vanilla extract. that combination will help with the odor. But the source of the odor needs to be removed first. It sometimes can be hard to find.

I have cleaned the entire inside, but there is a stinky smeel still inside the refrigerator and the freezer. It is even making our food taste bad. Have cleaned indise and outside and underneath. It seems...

I've not seen this before. I'm wondering if some food (meat/meat juice) has gotten behind the rear panel of the freezer. The only way to find out is to remove the rear panel to inspect it. You'll have to remove all the food and remove all the shelves and bins. You'll see 6 screws on the rear panel, remove these. Grasp the vent (at the bottom) with needle nose pliers, lift up and out then down. Now pull the panel out by lifting it over the top shelf supports. This will expose the evaporator coils so you can see if there's anything in there causing the bad smell.

If you don't find anything... try some baking soda?
