Rotten Fish Smell in Freezer

RE: Rotten Fish Smell in Freezer By Mary (Guest Post) I turned off my frig and washed it out with soapy water, then I went over it and cleaned it out with lemon and vinegar. I let it sit open for one day. It did not work. As soon as I plugged in the frig it was smelling like shrimp again. Then I put two round cake pans FILLED with ground coffee and crumbled up news paper lightly sprayed with water and let it sit for two whole days. It WORKED. My frig does not smell like shrimp or fish any more. It smelled like coffee but it will go away in a couple of days and your frig will smell good.

I had already tried bicarb to no avail. Your ground coffee and newspaper did the trick. Thank you!

My question is do I put the papers and coffee in the freezer with the doors shut and do I leave the appliance turned off and for how long? Posted on 09/04/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Fish Smell in Freezer By wolfgang (Guest Post) i need to know whether i need to put the coffee beans and newspaper when the freezer is switched off or when it's on to take out the smell? Editor's Note: First, use ground coffee, not the beans. If you have beans, make sure to grind them first. I think I would wash it out with baking soda, make sure to rinse out the drain tube. Then, make sure it is dry and with the freezer off, put in the coffee grounds (in a container or tupperware with the top off) and newspaper. Plain charcoal also works well for this.

I will certainly give the advice a try. Can you buy Bass Assassin in England.

Hope this helps.. Posted on 11/10/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Fish Smell in Freezer By ThriftyFun (3117) Profile Blog! Contact Make sure that you clean all drip trays and run soapy water through any drain tubes. The smell may be staying in places that are hard to get to. Sorry for your problems with the hurricane. It has been a horrible hurricane season.

Posted on 10/31/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Fish Smell in Freezer By Michele (Guest Post) You can try Baking Soda...you can also go to the Pet Store and buy charcoal and put it in there and it should take the smell out. My mom's freezer went out and all the deer meat spoiled, it was a horrid smell. Good luck. Posted on 10/31/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rotten Fish Smell in Freezer By (Guest Post) I have heard if you put crumpled newspapers in the freezer for a day or so it will take the smell out.I have never tried it myself.Hope it works for you.
