I have scrubbed the entired thing out with clorox and water, white wine vinagar, fantastic, windex, etc. every time I turn it on the entire room smells like smoke. I have even left the door open and then vent on full blast for 24 hours. HELP

Answer 1

First, put a bowl of vinegar in there and boil it. Yes, vinegar is stinky too, but better than burned, and it will CLEAN the smell out. The, after a few hours, leave the door open, and put a dish of coffee grounds in there. They will absorb any left over vinegar odor.

Coffee grounds are also a good idea when you have a refridgerator that you turn the power off of. It keeps it from smelling bad.

Answer 2

Sqeeze 1-2 lemons to get juice into a cup or small bowl and heat on high for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
That should do it. If you're still not happy you can try that 1-2 more times.

peace.
