How to remove garlic smell from refrigerator/ice maker Is there a certain cleaner or chemical that will remove a lingering garlic odor from an ice maker or other food processing equipment?

About a month ago, my wife and I noticed that the ice from our fridge had a slight garlic smell and taste.  On inspection, I noticed a jar of minced garlic that wasn't completely closed in the door right under the ice maker (The ice maker is in the fridge, and has a rubber seal to the door where the ice comes out like this.)

I removed the garlic, dumped the ice, and soaked the removable ice tray/conveyer mechanism in hot soapy water.  The first few batches of ice were better, but now the smell and taste are back.

Right now we simply can't use the ice maker.  Is there a trick to garlic smell?

Also, the garlic issue with the ice maker was from garlic fumes only.  The jar did not spill, and there was never any direct contact between the garlic and the fridge.
Basically you need to turn it off, remove everything from it and then thoroughly clean it using a solution of warm water and baking soda.

Baking soda will help remove/absorb any odors that have leeched into the fabric of the fridge.

Once that is done and it has completely dried, you can restock the fridge, examining carefully anything you are putting back in for cracks, leaks or spillage that might have caused the bad smell.

Note that it is more likely that any smell is coming from something spoiled or spilled in the fridge rather than the fridge itself as refrigerators are made out of materials that are designed to NOT absorb bad smells.
