Strange fridge smells while off solved - cross post

[LandCruiserPhil]

It always to challenge to keep the fridge free of strange odors while not in use. I have been using charcoal bags with great results. After fridge use I just wipe the inside as normal drop in a bag and shut it. After sitting you will get no strange odor once opened and put back into use. To refresh the charcoal bag just set in the sun.

Tested this past weekend by leaving in the fridge while on and partly full, no strong food smell when open. I will be ordering more.

I ordered mine from Amazon in the 200g size.

I have been told they are also available from Bed Bath & Beyond

True be told Im a sucker for Amazons Prime returns policy when trying something new. Amazon wins again

I just prop my lid open when it's off, never had an issue. If something leaks I clean it out. I admittedly use mine a lot less than LCP, are others having this problem?

I just open mine, clean it after a run, use a towel to defeat the seal and keep dust out. non issue

I leave mine cracked. I also have several large silica packets of the 'Do Not Eat' variety thrown in there for good measure. Figured it wouldn't hurt.

If anyone is interested, here is some shots of my fridge prop system.

Nice. I like that. My fridge lid will hold itself open if you don't latch it completely. Just enough to vent it.

Some fridges have lights that stays on when the lid is cracked.

Good point, but if it's cracked, I don't have it plugged in.

Good idea and thanks for sharing. certainly a useful product. I always keep my fridge cracked open with a towel when not in use and wipe it down well to avoid any funny odors. I will keep this item in mind.
