Check to see if the sensor in the freezer compartment is encased in ice. If so, do a complete defrost and restart the unit. Another possibility is a bad thermostat and/or sensor.
Sorry but your model number doesn't register with me in the USA. My experience tells me that the plastic water line from the filter to the water tank to the dispenser outlet is your problem. Replace those parts and you should be ok. Hope this helps.
I know this might sound weird but there might be a dead rodent or other small animal under the fridge or squeezed in between small parts. This happened to us but it was not the fridge; it was the air-conditioning unit. If this has happened in your case, the smell will be really bad for a while and eventually go away when the animal has fully decayed.
Even if it is not a dead mouse, here is a good website that gives you the names of effective odour neutralising products. It's definitely worth having a look at.

Good luck.
i guess if the odour is bad is not good . generaly caused by bact or who knows what . but let me say this / most smells that come from under frig are the water in the evap pan . and should be removed and cleaned several times a year . other are mice in insulation and sometimes the fan get's them . so slid it out and clean it out / it will run better when cleaned . the coiles do get dirty and the fans slow down .. hope this helped **** ..
The odor is coming from the defrost liquid Throw it away and clean the interior of the refrigerator with detergent and remove moisture. Dry it by opening the door for about 3 or 4 hours and then set the temperature control button at strong.
I had a similar problem with an unbearable smell, not inside, but outside the refregeration compartment. it was from the defrosted liquid that gets stored in a small open tank at the bottom on the rear side of the fridge. over time , particles settle along with water and gives a rooten smell, cleaning this tank solved it.
Hi, i have the same problem with my Homeking fridge. Because it is a frost free firdge, there is a little resevoir at the back, with a small little tube leading from the base of the fridge into it. There are 2 screws holding it in place. Unscrew these but keep the resevoir firmly in place as the nasty parmesan-type smell is actually stagnant water and you really really dont want to spill it. Empty it and then what i did was bleach and anitbacterialise the resevoir tray and the little tube thing. Though I had the problem solved but now it is doing it again less than 2 months after this, so I'm going to contact the people who sold it to me. This is how you get rid of the smell though!!
Good luck
