Our refrigerator smells like a toilet how do I make my mom buy a new one?

Posted on December, 10 at 12:00 am |

I’ve cleaned it out twice this month with bleach, soap, and put baking soda boxes in the freezer also. The smell won’t go away. She’s had it for 12 almost 13 years. The food even smells and looses taste when you eat it after being in the fridge. I’ve noticed it for the past 2 yrs of it smelling bad. She doesn’t notice it b/c she’s use to the smell. She most recently noticed the over powering smell. She thought it was rotten food but there isn’t anything in there that could be old, rotten, or spoil. What could it be?

      Is there a drip tray underneath it? If so clean that out. Also could it be the tubing for the automatic
      ice machine? It also could be the insulation in the door. Something might be growing in there if the seal is cracked.

      Does she have the money to buy a new one? A refrig 12 years old is a dinosaur and is costing alot of money for electricity. Lowe’s is advertising Black Friday prices even into December. Get the Sunday paper and price. Make sure they will remove and get rid of the old refrig.

      I would be worried also that it could make her ill, especially since you don’t know what it is.

      You may be stuck with the thing until you move out of the house.
