Smelly fridge!!

Posting for traffic - going out of my mind. Our integrated fridge is so smelly - I have taken EVERYTHING out and cleaned it with hot and soapy water, I've tried bicarbonate of soda with vinegar and scrubbed all the seals and shelves etc. none of the food is out of date, nor does it smell off.

Every time we open the fridge, we get hit with the smell - no where else in the kitchen smells.

My main question is the filter - it's integrated and no idea how to get to it? Anyone want to shed any wisdom?

What gave you actually got in there? Check the food. Things like Mushrooms smell absolutely vile when they start going off.

No mushrooms here - the smell has been there all week and yesterday the fridge was completely empty so it's not the food.

Milk is in date, the fresh strawberries were bought last night, some cans of juice, fresh meat and yogurts etc, but all bought at the food shop yesterday.
