well I thought the smell was gone, but after going out for a few hours and coming home I could smell it still, Not real bad but it was there. I may end up getting rid of it?? we shall see.
I am getting a freezer alarm for both freezers this week.

might want to try this sstuff sam's club has called "odeban" or something like that..

I will look into it thanks.

It be a shame to get rid of it as it was a fridge we got brand new 10 years ago, and it is better then the one in my house!

Good thing my wife can't get in the basement, if she saw how clean I got that thing she be having me do this one also!!

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+.
