You might replace the outlet - a new one would probably grab the plug a lot better. If it's that loose there's probably not a great connection - could cause a hot spot (start a fire) or cause resistance (lower than full voltage - bad for the motor).

I lost a freezer full when the GFCI tripped without me knowing it for a few days - if you got one of those, I'd sure try to not use that circuit for the freezer.

If you can't get the smell out, my wife's got some stuff that gets dog s**t smell out real well - if you need it, email me and I'll ask her what it is.

Sorry man that really does stink.

Thanks, it was the extenion cord. All fixed now, but a bit to late!!

Yes please get the name of that stuff, it won't hurt to get and do it any way. Thanks!!

I used some tie straps to hold the plug in on mine because it kept falling out. Also do not use a circuit with an ARC FAULT interrupter as an electric motor can pop them as well. Unfortunately these new ARC FAULT breakers are mandatory in FLORIDA for new home construction for 09+:bat:.

Phatdaddy referred to OdoBan. It is pretty good stuff. It comes in a concentrate, and a little bit goes a long way.

Try putting a bunch of newspaper and charcoal in the freezer and change it every day for a few days to see if it will absorb the odor.

MJ,

The stuff I was thinking of is Nature's Miracle and can be found at pet stores. It's an enzyme and it cleans the cat box so well you can stick your nose right close to it and smell nothing.

Pat had a couple more suggestions:

OxiClean Laundry is an oxygen bleach (different enzyme than the pet stuff) - spray it on and close up to keep it wet and let it sit. She says it's very good stuff.

Amonia - put it in an open pan in the freezer and close it up to let the fumes work.

MJ - Here you go!! Take it out on the kitty.

They make a little gizmo that grabs the plug and then screws into the plate w/the plate's center screw...I know too late for that load, but maybe save next year's stash...

Bad Kitty!!!:you:

Man!!!,..sorry to hear that.

The cat prolly DID do it. :bat:

MJ JINXED ME!!! I got back today from my girlfriends parents house and the fridge QUIT! WHAT A PITA!
