I am currently typing this with a handkerchief over my mouth and nose. Why? Because the house is full of a noxious odour from the drinks fridge. According to my dad, the fridge went wrong this morning, and just after lunch this horrible smell starts creeping into the room. I thought my dad was cleaning something and that it was bearable, but no, he says it's the fridge. Sure enough, I go into the living room (where fridge is) and... X_X almost fainted.

The windows are all open, fridge outside, house sprayed numerous times with air freshener, but still the air is acrid and nauseous. I know old fridges had CFC gases and such, but this one was quite modern (I think?) so it shouldn't have done... I checked the house over with a carbon monoxide tester, just to be sure, and nothing came up. Still, anyone have any tips on how to deal with this? Would be much appreciated. *Gags*
