Freezer interior has a strong, unpleasant odor even after cleaning.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer and remove all food before deep cleaning.

• Thorough cleaning: Wash all interior surfaces of your Fagor freezer with a solution of baking soda and warm water. Remove shelves and baskets for separate cleaning.
• Clean gasket folds: Gently pull back the door gasket folds and clean inside with mild detergent to remove trapped residues.
• Drain pan cleaning: Access the drain pan above the compressor and clean it with warm soapy water to remove mold or slime.
• Deodorize: After cleaning, place an open box of baking soda or activated charcoal inside the freezer for several days to absorb remaining odors.
• Check for hidden spills: Inspect under drawers and behind panels for any hidden spills or residues.
