i know some one who does repo. when the power is cut for 4 months and the food in it has gone bad the fridges stink like u couldnt beleive. thing is instead of throwing out that 1800$ fridge they keep it... how they get the smell out you ask??? use Charcoal, toss it in the fridge let it sit for a few days and the charcoal will soak up all of the smell
