Hello to all,
Our freezer door popped open bc I had put a huge brisket in there and placed it diagonally. We went out of town Thurs evening and found the freezer door popped open Sat morning and a trail blood, xxxx and more xxxx that had come out from the thawed things in there. There were some redfish in there too, along w tons of meat and other.
Have pulled everything out, washed it down w vinegar, baking soda and bleach. Have had a package of baking soda on each shelf for a week....still smells like rotten xxxx. The smell from the freezer had also permeated the refridge bc that's where the cold air blows.
I pulled unit out, cleaned under the unit [tile]. I just pulled the evap coil drip pan, washed it out w bleach. if you took water and very slowly poured it out [small, sm trickle] to emulate meat thawing and dripping, we did that and followed the trail and cleaned all of that too. This happened two weeks ago this saturday and it still smells. It's better, but now anywhere near normal.
Looking for solutions where you or someone you know had a similar problem and eradicated the smell? My family and I appreciate all your help and suggestions.
Thank you !
