Terrible smell from rear of fridge?

Hi

Could you please assist - There is a terrible smell - like a dead animal, emanating from the grill area at the back (outside) of Proline Fridge Model PL167GWA5. No smell in the fridge. Checked all areas and nothing apart from a little dust on grill area. Fridge only 18 months old and in very good condition and cleaned weekly.

Thanks

Thank you for your help. I will ask someone to have a look at the compressor. I won't know where to start.
Thanks J

you will need to gain access to the compresor,this is where the most heat is generated,it is possible this heat has indeed attracted a rodent.sadly deceased by the smell you're discribing.unplug the fridge before you start investigating.
