Metallic or medicinal odor from fridge - Whirlpool 17.6 Cu. Ft. Top-Mount Refrigerator - White

This could be because of other stuff in the fridge. Meat usually gives a weird odor and taste when its in the fridge with something else.

Have you put a few boxes of baking soda in the fridge to absorb the pungent odors? Do that.

What does it smell like? Burnt plastic , mold , rotten food? Check gaskets and temp in fridge, food could be spoiling. It is tough to get serious odors out of fridges. Bleach, vinegar are good for killing odors. Check manufactures recommendations.

Is it a food odor or metallic? Try crushing up some charcoal into a powder and place in the fridge in an open dish.

ok.its a very common issue.just tie a handful of baking soda in a soft cloth and keep such1 or 2 pads in both the freezer and fridge section.this will absorb all the bad odor within a day or two.once the odor is gone throw the pas away.repeat this once in three months to prevent the bad odor from coming again.

This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

sound like drain blocked clean out with clorine bleach (not to be used inside frige/freezer). are you trying to grow your own pennicillin.?

the air blows from freezer to fridge side and then returns from fridge to freezer,so it could be and usually is something on fridge side causing odors or funny tasting ice cubes,check under bottom draws on fridge side,what kind of odor is it?

check drip pan bottom of unit

There are a couple of methods to help remove odors from a fridge. The first is a cookie sheet with baking soda spread across it left in the fridge for several days. The other is something called Activated Carbon. Most stores sell it as a carbon odor filter and it is pretty cheap. It actually works better then the baking soda so I recommend you pick some up and just leave it inside the fridge. You can also put this behind your fridge or wherever you have foul odors. Hope this helps.

Probably getting a new Fridge-mother doesn't want to continue to deal with repairs. Thanks anyway.
