My fridge is icing on lower left corner. It also has a wierd odor. I deiced and it still comes back, temp switch does not seem to work and the fridge is not very cold. Help?
Refrigerators - Sub-Zero - 661/F Side by Side Refrigerator
Following steps will help you in finding the reason for having the weird smells:
* The drain pans under the refrigerator need to be removed and checked. * The fan covers in the freezer section should be removed, check the evaporator coil and defrost drain pan. * Check where the drain grommet goes into the drain closely, there could be a void in this area. * There is always the possibility that the odor is from a liquid that has gotten inside the liner of the refrigerator. * Did you replace any filter recently? If yes the water trapped in the filter head will stale and develop this type of issue. The problem may be resolved by flushing a gallon or two of water per day through the dispenser. If the problem does not go away, the filter head may need to be replaced. This would require a service technician to install the part.
Hope this helps.
