    Chemical smell from fridge and freezer!
    Help! I've got a Frost Free, freezer on top, Magic Chef Fridge. It has a very strong 'chemical' smell. I've washed it down, cleaned the drip pan, cleaned underneath, and under the drawers. I haven't found any bad food. I read a blog that said to get to the freezer coils to clean them, but it seems like I'm going to break the plastic when I pull on it. Are there hidden tubes in the fridge? ( Other than the small tube on the very bottom... ) Help!:eek:
