The fridge of eternal stench

Hmm, that sounds like slightly less of a pain in the ass than the way I went about it. Oh well, I'm just glad it's fixed. I think all of that moving around confused the elders though... they suddenly want to see their adult son graduate from high school.
Bad food does that to you.

I'm just wondering if calling a repairperson would have done any good.
My current Sim was at about 4 or 5 handiness and fixed a broken bathroom sink. He got the success music and the "dirty surroundings" debuff cleared, but the sink was still spraying water all over. I tried moving it around the room. Still spraying. I tried moving it into household inventory. At pause, it was normal, but as soon as I switched back to live mode, it commenced spraying. Then I bit the bullet (this Sim is an experiment in permanent unemployment who had, at that point, not a lot of funds available) and sold the fracking sink and bought a new one.
The new sink looked normal...but the bathroom still had a "something in here is spraying water" sound effect.
Please note that since my Sim had just repaired the damn sink, I did try clicking to see if the option was there again to repair it, but it had only normal (non-broken) menu options.
When I decided it might be a burst pipe in the wall (!!!??), I had the Sim call for a repairman and go off to tend his garden. When the repairman said he was all done, the sound of water spraying had indeed vanished.
Could there be some similar hidden brokenness involved in refrigerators?

I had a problem with not being able to clean out or sell my Sim's fridge.
The game was acting like there was rotten food in the fridge, even though the 'clean out' option wasn't coming up. My Sims were getting the disgusted moodlet and I couldn't clean it out, move it or sell it.
Here was my fix for it...
First I found out what sim was making the fridge act like it was 'in use' even though it wasn't.
Turn on the Moveobjects On cheat
Go into buy mode
Try to sell the fridge
When I'd try to sell it, the game said my child sim Abby was using the item and I couldn't delete it.
So, I went into live mode and made Abby open the fridge for a bowl of soup. When she opened the fridge, I paused the game and looked inside the fridge. The food the Sim's grab is on the second shelf. I un-paused and watched her grab it and saw that there was still another item on the shelf. The fridge has a blue frozen dinner or something on that shelf all the time, it's part of the item's graphics and in my case, a piece of rotten birthday cake was stuck there too. I think I had interrupted Abby when she tried to eat it on her sister's birthday and the game had left the cake there all that time.
So, I went into buy mode, used the hand of god tool and picked up the bad cake and put it on the floor. I couldn't delete it or interact with it myself, so I had Abby clean it up.
Problem solved. No more bad food, Sims could interact normally with the fridge again and I could sell the fridge if I wanted. I just had to manually clean out the fridge with my Sims' help, I suppose.
I hope you can fix your problem. Good luck.
