Used refrigerator stinks!
I bought a used refrigerator and when I went to pick it up the couples apartment smelled like Korean take out. I didn’t think anything of the fridge and figured it was just the apartment. OnceI got home I realized the refrigerator itself stinks. First I propped the doors open to let it air out for a week. Nada. Then I removed all shelves and drawers and sprayed everything down with Clorox cleaning spray. Then I rinsed it out with hot water. The thing still wreaks. It smells like kimchi. The freezer has a weird smell as well. I put Arm and Hammer in both. Hoping that will help. Any advice?
