two ways stand back open doors go in with hose and simple green and follow up with baking soda cleaning and air out or go in FDS you get that the drug store0 -
Try vanilla in a bowl.0 -
I've used
coffee and balled up newspaper very successfully in a residential fridge/freezer. Slow but effective. Also used to use coffee in reefer trailers to get rid of meat smells.
Just my 2c0 -

Unfortunately, the best way to remove teh smell is to leave the doors open and wait.
If you jump out the door switch and allow the system to operate, the evaporator fan will help circulate air through the coil and eventually out of the box.
Placing baking soda in the box will work, but a dish with lemon juice will help as well.
Please keep us posted.
