Sodium bicarb! How did I forget about that? Thanks. I might try some
later if need be. I found a removable screen - not actually a filter
as such - which was quite strong with the smell. I've cleaned it and
will put it back in shortly.

I agree. Sodium bicarb is not a bad suggestion. It certainly can't
hurt. Oh, and put some in the freezer, too.

I put some bicarb into the small 1.5x1.5" removable screen in the
yesterday. It seems to be helping quite a bit.

That might be a good idea, thanks.

I've pretty much narrowed down where the smell is coming from - it's
coming from beyond that little screen (or vent) I mentioned before. It
is located on the 'ceiling' of the inside of the fridge, which then
seems to go towards the back of the fridge and then down presumably to
the drip tray. I checked the drip tray and there are no nasties in
there - a very small amount of water and there was a water droplet on
the drain pipe itself, so I don't think there's a blockage... but
maybe there is a partial blockage?

Another thing:

2 or 3 weeks ago, I checked the thermometer in the fridge, it was far
too cold (almost 0°C), so I adjusted the thermostat and then promptly
forgot about it. A few days later I realised the temp was now 6°C -
which is far too warm of course and again readjusted the thermostat.
Might be just coincidental timing... dunno.

which is far too warm of course and again readjusted the thermostat.
Might be just coincidental timing... dunno.
===============================

The drip tray pipe on my fridge sometimes blocks and causes a small flood in
the floor or the fridge. I use a very small bottle brush and it clears it.
I've never had a problem with any other fridges like that. Have you tried
a wee brush?

No, not yet and I'm not sure I have one that will fit. I might
(carefully) try an air compressor when I get time, that should clear
any blockage out.

That's just covering one smell with another smell - loathsome stuff !

Not sure about Febreeze, but there are some sprays that actually
eliminate the odor, not cover it up, You have not residual odor.

Fabreeze was initially marketed as a product that reduces odor. It
didn't do very well, so they started adding scents to it.

Febreeze makes many scented sprays that replace the foul odor with a
pleasant odor but Febreeze still makes their original spray with no
odor of its own, works exceptionally well;

Oh, I'll pass on the Febreeze then. I hate stuff that does that.
Much like car air fresheners... haven't found one I didn't hate.

Costs a lot more than 29¢ nowadays... I'd guess a dead mouse under the

I can't imagine stomaching straight baking soda and I get really bad

forget even a day of taking prilosec or one of the others. I have to mix
it up when one stops working.

So since you know the outcome, just make sure you don't miss taking the
med! That sounds like a very painful illness, not digesting anything.
Be well.
