Our Hairer refrigerator, purchased new, is only 2 months old and a couple of days ago a bad order (like something's rotten) coming from the blower in the freezer. The odor also seeps into the refrigerator part and every time the door is open, it smells up our house. There is and there was not any rotten food in the refrigeator or freezer. We cleaned both the freezer and refrigerator out 3 times and the odor is still there.
We are moving to a new home in 2 weeks and would like to have this problem dealt with ASAP. Thank you,
Dead mouse or rat is a definite possibility.
check under the freezer and in the defrost tray for the dead mouse or rat !

SOURCE: Refrig door gasket does not prevent gap when door is closed
Lift up the gasket and look for screws securing the gasket to the door.
Loosen all of these screws a few turns and twist the door in the direction needed to seal.
Hold the door in this position as you tighten the screws.
This can be tricky and sometimes requires multiple efforts.

Make sure it's not against the wall. Away from any corner or wall. It needs space to breath in the back. The Condenser always needs to breath. Constant venting. It maybe also that it has a leak somewhere.

As for the fridge, the same solution but for more details. If refrigerator is not cooling properly can be due to a defrost timer, which is causing the fridge to go into defrost cycle. Usually it takes 45-60 minutes for refrigerator to come out of defrost cycle. If the timer goes bad then it will not come out of defrost cycle and can result in this kind of issues. It can also occur due to defrost thermostat, it allows current to pass through it at temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit and prevents current from passing through it at 40 to 60 degrees. This is difficult to test, though, because it takes a prolonged, very-cold temperature to turn it on. The defrost thermostat is snapped onto the top portion of the evaporator. The thermostat sends temperature information to the processor. The defrost heater must be replaced when replacing the thermostat.
1. Remove the lower fan duct work from the evaporator cover.
2. Remove the 1/4-in. evaporator cover screws and remove the evaporator cover.
3. Disconnect the defrost thermostat wiring connector.
4. Remove the defrost thermostat from the evaporator.
Yes it is worth repairing. This is a common problem with refrigerator.
I hope the above helps.......
Good luck.
