Why does your mini fridge smell like gas?

If the mini fridge smells like gas, turn it off and clean it with an oxygen based cleaner. Lysol brand cleaner with Oxy and Peroxide is a good cleaner for this. Plug the fridge back in. If a gas smell is still coming from the fridge, turn it off immediately. This could be a sign that freon is leaking somewhere inside the coils. Have it serviced or dispose of it properly.
