Refrigerator Smell The refrigerator emits an odor that smells like urine but only when the fan is running. This odor is EXTERNAL only (the inside of the unit smells fine). There is NO water in the drain pan.

    There is nothing in the pan - it's completely dry. This is not the problem.

    I have the same problem.  It only smells when the fan is on.  The fridge is only a year old.

    Same thing....Mine smells all the time now. At first it was just when the fan kicked on, but now the odor fills my kitchen. It smells like rat urine or old musty socks. Haven't been able to figure out exactly what it is. Kenmore side-by-side, 1 yr. old.
