Refrigerator with an Odor
We had an insured who had their refrigerator stop running while they were on vacation for a week. When they returned it was discovered and it was determined that the GFI switch it was plugged into had tripped. Possible power surge or lightning caused it to trip, we are not sure. The switch was tripped back and the appliance is up and running again.
The spoilage of the food was covered by an enhancement endorsement, but the spoiled food left an odor in the refrigerator that the insured cannot get out. The odor may have permeated into the insulation , we are still trying to find out where it is coming from or if it's permanent.
