There's A Horrific Smell That's Coming From The Back Of The Fridge.what To Do?
This refrigerator was purchased 11 months ago and in those 11 months. Whirlpool has sent someone SEVEN times to repair it. Twice, it froze all the food in the fridge, causing the glass shelving to explode into 100's of pieces. SIX times, the freezer has had enormous frost build up inside of it, which they say is due to the fact that the seal is not sufficient on the freezer door. Since the repairman was here last week, a smell of rotting blue cheese ( which I do not have in the house !) is coming from the back of the fridge....plus, the fridge is freezing food again and the freezer is building up the frost. What is one to do? Whirlpool refuses to replace the fridge.

I recommend contacting the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint:
https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started
Also (your local chapter of) the Department of Comsumer Affairs:
Then call your local news stations consumer help guy and see if they can put preasure on the retailer.
