I've cleaned the fridge out multiple times. Took every item out, cleaned off every jar and container, nothing has ever spilled in it, I pulled out all the shelves and scrubbed them clean, scrubbed the inside with a baking soda solution and it smells extremely weird.
We barely keep anything in it, just condiment containers, brita jug, juice, and vegetables that stay in there for only a few days before we use it all up. Any left over food that gets put in there in a container gets used up the next day as we really don't waste much food and only get what we need so things don't get forgotten and go bad. One day out of nowhere the fridge just started to stink! That's when I cleaned it. It smells good for a few weeks and then in one day BAM there's that weird smell again. I don't know how to describe the smell but it's gross. Nothing I've ever cooked has this smell or anything similar to it... I've cleaned the thing top to bottom and wtf fridge...you smell again?!? There's baking soda inside near the vent that circulates the air that gets replaced every month or so.
This is the fridge:
https://www.lg.com/ca_en/refrigerators/lg-LFC23760SW-french-3-door-refrigerator
It came with our place and I had to download the manual for it to see if I'm missing something but I simply can't figure out why this smell is lingering around... I've seen similar models on their site that look exactly the same but the only difference I can see is that they have a removable air filter inside on the back.
Any suggestions on this? I'm not against removing everything, unplug it and pulling it out and leave the doors open for the day in hopes to air it out but at this point I don't even think that would help much.
Forgot to add - There is a ice maker in it that isn't hooked up to a water line. We didn't even know about it until a month or two after and it was in the on position which is now been off for a good 5 months now.
