Bacteria build up on the door seal

Food deposits can find their way into the tight folds of the seals on the doors of your appliance. Bacteria builds up on the deposits and the effect of this can be a really bad smell. Simply clean the seals with some anti bacterial spray and wipe over. In most cases the seal can be removed from the door by carefully pulling it out and given a more thorough clean. Push the seal back into the door fixing groove when its all clean.

Check its cold enough

If your fridge is smelly it may because it is not cold enough. The temperature inside the middle of the fridge compartment should be 5 degrees or cooler. You can purchase a fridge thermometer from most good hardware or cookery shops to measure the temperature. If it is warmer than 5 degrees turn the thermostat knob to a larger number and this will make your fridge cooler. Finaly use an anti bacterial cleaner to thoroughly wash the inside of the fridge which will leave it fresh and hygienically clean.
