I’ve had a smell of recent. One I could not find the source of. It was most pronounced when I opened the fridge. Logically, you would think that something in there died and is the source. So, I started to clean it. And clean it. And clean it. And the smell did not go away.
Ugh! I've left potatoes in the metal-lined drawer for five months at a time over the winter--completely missing them when we packed up and closed up the house. Terrible!
Once, we left the refrigerator on for the winter, the freezer packed with meats, only to come home to a rotten, horrible smell. Turns out the refrigerator will stop working if temps get cold enough, and they got to below zero many times that winter, so...
Hopefully, after that hard work under extreme circumstances, the aroma of freshly baked bread will coat the kitchen (and you) in comfort. P.S. you described the celery remains I found in my frig drawer perfectly.
Laughed hard enough to have tears running down my cheeks! Your descriptions are epic! Love you!!!
Love you more!

This happened to me recently and I never did find the culprit. Ended up having to toss the frig. Thank goodness it was a small one.
I’m so sorry!

It does smell much better now!! Sorry about your celery stink. I feel your pain!
