Yesterday I shared that our fridge quit working and how disgusting it smelled (click here for that post) - the repairman gave me a tip that worked pretty good, it took a few days but it's 90% better than it was. He said to put bowls of whole coffee beans and bowls of baking soda in the fridge and freezer and it would help to absorb the odor - I knew about baking soda but not the coffee beans and I figured we had nothing to lose other than 14 bucks worth of coffee beans.
The first few days the fridge smelled like the foul odor mixed with coffee, but a week later it mostly smells like just coffee. Like the repair guy said today when he opened the door "well at least we aren't gagging now" hahaha. There is a tiny hint of odor if I really try to find it, but at first smell it's just coffee. Once we get the fridge repaired he says the fan running will make the rest of the smell go away.
I should have taken pictures before we cleaned a lot of it out, but here's a bit of what we found (trust me when I say it was 1000 times worse than this and we couldn't keep the door open for more than a few seconds before needing to take a break!):
