wipe it out with a clorine bleach solution,leave the door ajar to gas off and use a syringe to blow out the drain hole.wipe dry then cover any open topped food containers with cling film.as all fridge/freezers work best when 3/4 full.use empty airtight boxes to fill any spaces,she/he will notice a big difference in lower running costs...
whilst the freezer may be frost free, the fridge is not, so expect condensation to form on any gloss surfaces...(the more airspace the more condensation........)

Aware of chemical smell/taste to food in freezer. What causes this and how do I stop it?

wash out freezer with hot water with a small amount of unscented bleach. DO NOT use products like pine sol! as they will scent your food dreadfully!

Very bad smell coming from my Samsung refrigerator

most refrigerators have a small drainage hole leading from the inside rear of the compartment to an overflow container behind the unit, pull the unit away from the wall and check if the liquid in the container has become stagnant, if so simply clean it out and run a small amount of bleach down the hole to disinfect the tube.
hope this helps.

Hello - did you ever figure out the metal/chemical smell problem? I seem to be having the same problem in my refrigerator/freezer. It is a side-by-side unit. We were gone over the Labor Day weekend for a few days and when we came back the unit has a metal/iron smell coming from it. Not sure what it could be.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Kenmore side-by-side has CHEMICAL SMELL ODOR inside.

You have a freon leak. With this only being 5 years old, iot's probably worth repairing, unless you are just able to buy a new one. I would have a local tech come out and check it before tossing it. I hope this answers your question and gives you some resolution. I hope to work with you again, so please record our name, email and phone number for future needs. Have a great evening!

Ice and Refrigerator and Freezer smell like alcohol chemical

I believe that you might have a coolant leak causing the chemical odor. You really should get it checked out by a fridge repair-person because it's not healthy to breathe in the fumes.
