Odor From Behind Fridge

What would cause a funky odor from behind refrigerator mostly when blower in running. Is there some kind of pan that could be accumulating mold or something of that sort? is is NOT bad food causing it. I can remember the same thing on an old fridge years ago and it was the pan on bottom I think.

Yes it could be the drip pan under the fridge, or if food or a rodent got trapped underneath it will smell when it starts to decompose.   If you had a liquid leak the liquid may have seeped into the underworkings.

I just heard that a great way to kill odor in a refridgerator is to place a bowl of fresh ground coffee in there for a day.  Not sure if it really works but it's cheap and worth a shot.
