I have a maytag fridge (not sure how old it is as it was here when I purchased the house 6 years ago). There is a bad odour (like sour milk/bad cheese) coming from the bottom front everytime the fridge 'kicks on'. I'm not sure if it's a fan.
About 2 weeks ago, there was a broken bag of milk lying on my bottom shelf (above the crispers). Although I cleaned it up, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the smell. In other words, I'm not sure if the milk ran down the inside of the fridge into a place I've never cleaned before. Could you tell me how to troubleshoot this problem? Thanks.
The milk probably is gone, but there may be something in your coils. Inspect from front at the bottom, behind toe kick trim or from the back by removeing the access panel on the lower back of the frig. Coil cleaning should be done with the frig unplugged, vacuum out the dust and with a small brush resembling a bottle brush but smaller. clean between the coils. Don't force the brush. Twisting with light pressure will work just fine.
