Mend Smell Power Turned

How to get rid of smell in the fridge/freezer ?

While we were away on a trip there was a power failure and our fridge/freezer was turned off for 3 weeks which resulted in very rancid food and a smelly house. We have cleaned the fridge but some smell is still lingering. What is the way to go to get rid of the smell ?

Found a cure :) defrost fridge freezer then get some bicarbonate soda mix with warm water and wash the fridge and freezer out with that. Then leave a small cup of boiled water mixed with bicarbonate soda in the freezer and the same again in the fridge compartment with the doors shut for a few hours. That should cure any nasty smells :)
