Yes, it smells like rotten food & propane(LPG) mixed together.

Is it still cooling? If so, it most likely is not refrigerant or oil.
yes it is cooling just fine but there is an oily substance on food that appears to be dripping from small upper freezer area, when wiped it looks like light grease
Bravada smell coolant. That's how they greet each other.
The fridge wouldn't get cold. The way the coolant works is as it passes through the fridge in liquid form it picks up the heat and turns to gas. This gas is then put through a compressor which forces it back into liquid thereby forfeiting its heat. And thereby removing the heat from the fridge.
Leaking heater core
Could be an A/C coolant leak.
if your asking about your air conditioning, it could be your refrigerant, but a smell that would more closely resemble vinegar would probably be your coolant
The head gasket sits between the head and the engine block if it is leaking out where you can see the coolant, yes you can smell the coolant if it is leaking into the engine no you cannot smell the coolant. You can check the oil to see if it has coolant in the oil if it does then the head gasket might be blown.
the radiator itself no but the coolant that it carries has distinct odor Any paint on the new part could smell.
As the coolant flows through the refrigerator, it absorbs thermal energy from the inside compartments, causing it to evaporate and carry the heat away. The coolant then releases this thermal energy outside the refrigerator, where it condenses back into a liquid state. This continuous cycle helps maintain the desired temperature inside the refrigerator.
Possibly the Head Gasket is blown.
A refrigerator works by evaporating the coolant inside the refrigerator thereby absorbing heat. The evaporated coolant is pumped outside of the refrigerator and compressed to make it liquefy and give up its heat then returned to be evaporated again.
If your going through coolant then you have an internal head gasket leak you smell coolant because its getting into cylinder and burning
Unplugging a refrigerator will not damage it, but it has to be ventilated or it will start of smell.
