People are just finding out reason their fridge sometimes stinks for no reason
A foul smell coming from the fridge can quickly turn an otherwise pleasant kitchen into an unpleasant environment.
While the cause of this is normally food going off, it can sometimes be a more difficult problem to deal with.
A clogged fridge can emit a nasty rotten smell but thankfully experts have shared ways to tackle the problem.
Clogs in the fridge often occur in the drain hole or the drip pan, where food particles and debris accumulate over time.
As these substances decompose, they emit unpleasant odours that can permeate the entire fridge.

A small brush or pipe cleaner can be useful for dislodging stubborn clogs.
Once the drain line is clear, turn your attention to the drip pan, located beneath the fridge near the compressor.
Carefully remove the drip pan and empty any accumulated liquid and debris.
Wash the drip pan with warm, soapy water, ensuring it is thoroughly cleaned before replacing it in the fridge.
For stubborn odours that persist even after cleaning, experts recommend placing an open container of baking soda or activated charcoal in the fridge to absorb any lingering smells.
Additionally, regularly checking and cleaning the fridge’s interior shelves and compartments can help prevent future clogs and odours.
