Unusual smell

[scottc1978]

Hi folks,

The last couple of days we have noticed an unusual smell in the kitchen. It is only apparent in the kitchen and it is a kind of cheesy smell. We have checked behind units, under cupboards etc and cant seem to trace anything, anything in the fridge which may have aroused suspicion has been binned.

Any thoughts as to what this could be?

Thanks.

you may have a blocked/dirty gully trap outside an the smell is coming in through the waste pipe , the u bend/trap may be losing its level/syphoning an allowing smells in ...
hope this may help

Yoy haven't drop a sock and it's went behind the washer,

Might it be spilt milk? You need very little to cause a smell, even if it's been wiped up, it needs washing and rinsing and drying.

Pull your fridge out and take a look at the compressor, you'll find a dead mouse or rat on it stinking to buggery.

Nooooooooooo. I didn't dig 'kin holes. God, I did my apprenticeship with BG when it was a decent company, fully fledged service engineer. I went to Transco as a TSE in '95 when the then government decided to mess up a good industry. So I did a bit of outside work, but mainly first response to gas leaks anywhere [24 hr cover, did 9 yrs & thought sod this]. I'm back to service engineer now with smaller company, much more fun. Digging holes, na. So I see you're in the building trade some how. Pssst, by the way, I saw 'her' over there, she needs to get back here & explain whats going on! [strongbow tonight, nice change ]

[markie]

moz why don't you get back doing gas work,?

 

[gasmarkone]

Oh yeah, the number of outsiders I've had phoned in at the weekend!! Loads of money. Just got fed up of getting out of bed at 2am on a frosty night just because a gnat had f*rted in a field somewhere, for christ's sake. Bit hard up now but its more fun, get the weekends with family or footy [mighty Yeovil town]. I've got a cash job lined up next week, bathroom, don't know whether to take the self employed plunge or not. Well, ain't it funny, you never know who you meet. Loads more stories, will think of them & post up some time.

lol I forgot more than the corgi know ..lol ...

shower of w*nkers ,

would sell my backside on Canal st before go to Corgi scumbags ..lol


gasmarkone
yeah
strange how life works out ... lol
I must say I did enjoy my Auf Wiedersehen Pet, lifestyle in the 90s... lol... met loads of great lads on sites ...
a very good hint here ...
if going S/E
learn to tile , go on a tiler course ...
then cheap auction nearly new van ,
do bath refits , part tiling walls ..(finishing touch,+customer gets job done in one touch .. )
start with relatives ,
then hand out cards when they love the finish ...
pay yourself a day rate to cover costs ...
do a BOSS job , an give the patter /BG customer care service spiel ,
you wont NEED to advertise ...

within a month you will be working every day , at posher houses double day rate ..

just an Idea ....sorry if you know all this ...

First thought is have you showered recently lol but seriously,
a couple of yrs ago one of my customers said same thing (i'm just a lowly decci) they said it was cheesy smell but it smelt more like stale washing powder or melting plastic, got me thinking it was an electric short I tried each switch and sure enough the freezer switch (fcu) wouldnt budge, turns out it was a loose connection and switch was slowly melting inside
