Beko refrigerant leak? Help!

[Cathryn]

Is it possible I have a small leak? My fridge is still working, but every morning when I go downstairs there is an unpleasant chemical smell filling the room which certainly seems to be connected to my BEKO fridge freezer. I have had a mouse infestation and wondered if they could have chewed into something vital?

I really need help as the smell is horrible.

smell cant be refrigerant as 1 the mice would have top be able to chew copper and 2 if it leaked out the fridge would stop working as its under pressure

I’d be checking the compressor area of the fridge for dead rodents.

It’s most likely the smell could be connected to the tray on top of the compressor.

something could have been spilled inside the fridge and down the drain hole onto the compressor tray or something has got into the compressor tray.

Mice do like it near compressors on fridges as it’s nice and warm for them and the tray is a source of water for them so they can drop things in the tray.
