Bought a used fridge, it smells.

I bought a used fridge and the previous owner had a cat. There's a cat hair smell that I can't seem to get rid of. I took off the plate on the back that covers the internals and used my shop vac to clean it out. I used Comet with bleach on the inside and outside.

Still have that smell of cat coming through the fan/duct work.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about spraying Lysol through the air vent on the back. Anything else I can do?


Thanks,
Dave

The lysol sounds like a good next step to me. If that doesn't do it, the smell has probably penetrated the seals and replacing them is the best bet.

By seals do you mean the rubber around the doors?
