Mix about 1/4 cup of bleach with a half gallon of water and put it in a spray bottle and soak it down good. The bleach solution will kill the bacteria that is causing the odor and it will dissipate within a day or two. Then stick a couple boxes of bicarb in for future disasters..
Sorry bout yer bad luck. Don't forget to put on old clothes. I ruin a shirt or something, everytime I touch a bottle of bleach.

I have the perfect solution. It is a product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a littler purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. I use this product everywhere including storage, closets, my fridge AND freezer, and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying.

Okay, the problem is the scent is trapped in the plastics inside. You will need to turn the power off of your freezer and empty it.
Immerse with dish detergent water, and let that soak as much as possible on the insides of it.
Once a scent is trapped in plastic, because of its molecular memory, it takes another scent a long time to overcome.

Try baking soda, its will work wonders. Just open box and set it in freezer

Everyone has already said baking soda, but try washing it out with some warm water + dawn + bleach, and see if that helps.

After rubbing baking soda into the surface wipe it down with lemon juice.

I would try white vinegar. I have had experience of cleaning with this and it usually works.

i would have thrown it out and gotten a new one instead of repair, wash with white vinegar and baking soda.

put outdoors for a week or two. this will give the bacteria time to go through deterioration.
