Had to replace mine after it happened to us. Tried everything i could think of to clean it. Never ever did get the smell out.
Look into getting the wireless thermometer to put in your freezer. There is an app that functions with the wireless thermometer and you can set it up to notify you when the temps reach a certain level.
There are several brands out there via Amazon. I have the Goveez.
Death soup.
Close to 20 years ago now, my dad wanted a coyote so he could skin it. I acquired (shot) him a coyote. He asked me to just bag it up and throw it in the freezer, till he had time to skin it. Fast forward 1-2 months, summertime in Florida, she quit working sometime. When I noticed the stinky blood gel dripping out, I taped and ratchet strapped the door shut and put it to the curb. Was not there 10 mins and the scrappers got it. Sure is a tough way to make a $$So I emptied mine out and put the freezer in my construction dumpster. This morning I saw someone dig it out and take it. I could still smell it even after it was gone.
Likewise, I still have the freezer in that pic I posted. Replaced the GFI with one that has an alarmThis thread is a good reminder that I need to buy one of the wireless alarms.
I have had issues a couple times (2 different houses) with the garage GFCI outlet popping, when there was nothing else on the circuit but my freezer. Got in the habit of putting a lamp on in the garage on the circuit that I could see through the kitchen door, and tell if the circuit was on or not. Both times, I replaced the outlet and it fixed the issue.
My parents had a big get together one time when I was 15 or 16 years old with the neighbors, raw oysters, watching football and beer drinking. Well the next day we were cleaning up and somehow missed the cooler with about half a bushel of oysters in it. Fast forward a week and I noticed the cooler over by the house and went and looked in it. I threw up immediately. Daddy got home and wrote on top of it "DEAD OYSTERS DO NOT OPEN" and put it by the road. A guy stops by the road later on when daddy was cutting grass. Daddy says the guy looks at the cooler and looks around and picks it up and puts it in his truck. I've often wondered if he really needed that igloo that bad. I've smelled week old dead bodies that didn't smell that bad.Close to 20 years ago now, my dad wanted a coyote so he could skin it. I acquired (shot) him a coyote.
