Well, where to start !!


Monday I got some stew meat  & put in fridg.  Never got to make stew on Tuesday....Soooo, today, every time I walked in the kitchen I could smell an icky odor !


I figured it was around the fridg...thinkin the kids  snacks or food rolled under the fridge & is gettin smelly !  I got fridge pulled out...nothing behind....pulled off the bottom grill...got flash light......ewwwww, the smell was nasty....but, could'nt see anything.


I pulled out the drain pan.....ewwwww......on the bottom of one half had a skim of fermenting blood !    NASTY......washed it out & soaked it with bleach !  ICK !


SO, now to look for culpirt....THE STEW MEAT....the packing was leaking out blood...the package was placed right on the seam of the glass (where it rests on the plastic).....the blood leaked down the seam...down beside the veggie draw...down  the drain...into the drain pan, under fridge !!   urghhhh !


What a freakin mess......took me forever to clean the mess !  Now, my kitchen smells wonderfully clean...fridge is spotless.....& finally my beef stew is cooking !


Phewwww....no sewing this afternoon.....gatta rest my neck & shoulder. Geez. if it is not one thing it is another !!!!


Has this ever happened to anybody else....I bet not !!!!

I've had fridge disaster stories happen, but never had anything drip into the drain pan. I didn't know it could even happen for I don't think my fridge's have had or do have

Bunny, I've had that happen more than once - its usually from 'old' meat that may have been washed, redated and repackaged.

Hi Donna...I surely hope that strange thing never happens again too !


Oh, your fridge has to have a drain pan....if you have a frost free fridge....then you do ! Do you ever hear your fridg , sound like it is peeing....that is when your freezer tis defrosting & the liquid is draining into that drain pan !


Now tell me you never heard that & make me sound like I am a complete idiot !!! lol !
