What Dimitri said, but I would wipe/wash all the interior surfaces
with a baking soda and water solution. It would help to wipe off
all the items that go back into the fridge also because they will
carry the smell, too. Throw away any ice cubes and wipe the bin or
trays well. They absorb odors, too.

And make sure you remember to turn the fridge on again. That's my worst
blunder.
