What does fridge gas smell like?

I finally traced the smell to a corroded aerosol can. I don't know how old it is but it's the same colour as a car I had in the 1990s!

You never know when it might come in handy...

My good lady probably has some spares for that car in her handbag

I pierced our freezer with a screwdriver while trying to chip ice off once. The smell was quite odd. I'm tempted now to pierce my freezer just to remind me what it smells like.

What a completely daft thing to do!




Er, I did it to a fridge once ...

The inside of a Halex Three-Star table-tennis ball smells much like you’d expect it to.

As they say round our end.

Any water / sewerage works in your area? We had a terrible solvent smell in our house a few months ago which turned out to be the adhesive they'd used to reline the drains.

Can you please tell me how long that lasted? I am trying to figure out where the very slight chemical smell is coming from in my apartment too the last week. I had my water heater checked and it's not that. The only other thing I can think of is my refrigerator, but then I saw this post. There is construction going on in both directs from me 1 - 3 blocks away - large construction - an apartment complex and a health center. I wonder if that could be where I'm getting the smell from too and if it's worth it to spend $70 to have a repair person check out my refrigerator. Thanks!

Blimey, I'd forgotten all about that it was such a long time ago. It can't have been for long after they'd finished the work. Days maybe, certainly not weeks.

My parents had a new window fitted a week ago today and you can still smell the silicone adhesive they used .
