You are not alone if you are faced with an irritating odor instead of delicious vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator that you open with great enthusiasm. 

Refrigerator odour is one of the main kitchen problems that almost everyone encounters at least once. Moreover, if the necessary precautions are not taken, it not only affects the ambiance of the kitchen, but also brings with it various health risks. Of course, like everything else, this problem also has solutions.

Let's first look at what causes the refrigerator odour.

Spoiled food: The number one cause of refrigerator odours is food residues accumulating in the interior compartments, spoiled vegetables and fruits.

Mold and humidity: It is possible to see mold accumulation all over the house, but molds that grow faster especially in humid environments, can contaminate fresh foods in the refrigerator, causing health risks. Leaving food in the refrigerator with its mouth open causes mold growth and therefore bad odours.

Low temperature: Keeping the refrigerator temperature at an optimum level is one of the most important steps to combat bad odour and bacteria. If the refrigerator is not cold enough, the foods that need to be preserved can deteriorate quickly, causing odours. The temperature should be between 2-5 degrees in summer and 5-8 degrees in winter.

Ice formation: You may think that the ice accumulated in the freezer section has to do with bad odour; however, excessive ice formation adversely affects the operation of the machine. Accumulated ice causes an inconsistent heat distribution and brings bad odours. Also, if the lights do not go out when you close the refrigerator door, it may upset the temperature balance.

Fan failure: Refrigerators have many fans to cool the motor and improve air circulation around the condenser. Any failure of the fans causes the condenser to overheat, preventing proper preservation of the food.

So what can you do if your refrigerator smells bad right now?

Make Sure You Do A Good Cleaning: Get rid of all the rotting food left in the depths of your cupboard. Eliminate stains that have become permanent.

Reach hard-to-reach areas: During cleaning, hard-to-reach areas are one of the most important causes of odor. For this reason, remove the removable parts of the refrigerator so that the hard-to-reach parts can be thoroughly cleaned and clean all the inaccessible parts with carbonated water.

Enjoy a Variety of Foods: If you say that you did a good cleaning, but that food smells still persists, you have helpers who can easily solve this situation. Put a small container with milk, tea pulp, charcoal or Turkish coffee with rice in the refrigerator and leave it for 4 hours. You will see the smell go away.

Food Smells May Be Mixing: Refrigerators are the storage places of many unrelated foods. You should pay attention to the packaging of these foods separately and prevent the occurrence of odor problems.

Use Vanilla Fragrance: You can eliminate the bad smell in your refrigerator by dripping some vanilla on a small piece of cotton. Put this piece of cotton in a glass of water and leave it in the refrigerator. In a short time, you will see that the bad smells are replaced by the smell of vanilla.
