    Fridge burnt smell got me stump

    I open the back and check the relay and terminals. Nothing burnt. Compressor is running and fridge is cool and freezer cold. But we smell this burnt smell like an electrical plastic plug or terminal has burn. All the electrical connections look okay. So I vacuum inside which is full of dust and put it all back and will check again tomorrow. Nothing smell inside the fridge. It is about 5 years old. I am stump.

    could be dust on the coils. they heat up a little but not enough to cause a fire.

      Thanks for the reply HayZee. I will take my vacuum and clean it up.
