I posted months ago about the smell coming from under my refrigerator (Fridgedaire). The repairman came out and said it was probably coming from the non-removable pan. It was only noticeable when the fan was blowing, but was getting worse everyday. Fridgedaire willingly brought me a new one. Now, this one is doing the same thing. What in the world is going on?

Probably there is something inside your refrig that (During defrost) is mixing with the defrost water and going into the drain pan. Try putting about a table spoon of clorox in the drain pan to kill the smell. Or go into the freezer area and wash out the drain pan and drain tube under the evaporator coils with hot water. Hope this helps. Doug
