what a disaster!!

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.
