I just might have this issue licked. I filled the freezer half full of warm water, dumped about 6 pounds of Baking Soda, a 1/2 gallon of Bleach, and a skinny bottle of Pine-Sol and began scrubbing. I saturated the seal with pure bleach and scrubbed the inner top and lining with a paste of baking soda. I then drained it off after an hour of scrubbing and wiped it dry. The smell seems to be gone now.

I had my wife plug it right back in after her cleaning attempt and place a couple defosted Blue Ice bags in the freezer to check if it still worked. When I got home all was frozen but the smell was bad news.

It's plugged in now with a 4 lb box of Baking Soda. My deer will be processed and ready on Saturday so we'll see how this goes.

Thanks for the suggestions!
