Refrigerator has a strong musty or moldy odor inside, even after removing spoiled food.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before deep cleaning. Use gloves and adequate ventilation when using cleaners.

• 1. Empty and clean interior: Remove all food and shelves. Wash all surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda or mild detergent.
• 2. Clean gaskets: Wipe door gaskets thoroughly, pulling back folds to remove trapped debris.
• 3. Flush drain system: Clean the interior drain hole and flush the drain tube with a mild bleach solution, then rinse with clean water.
• 4. Clean drain pan: Access the pan under the unit and wash it with hot soapy water to remove slime and odors.
• 5. Air out the unit: Leave doors open for several hours (with power off) to allow odors to dissipate.
• 6. Use odor absorbers: Place an open box of baking soda or a refrigerator odor absorber inside once back in use.
