    I had the same problem and found that the door seal on my fridge was broken and that the main circuit board in the fridge was broken so it meant a new fridge for me I am afraid. Hopefully the same won't happen to you. I had been noticing that that things were not staying as fresh for long as well so it may help to check that too.

    Hope it helps

    nothing lurking in the salad crisper? That's usually the cause of smells in my fridge.

    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking
