why does my fridge.smell like gas
Freon Gas and Liquid. Freon only remains a liquid while under pressure inside your refrigerator's cooling system. The chemical changes to a gas as soon as it contacts the air. This means, when you smell freon in and around your refrigerator, you're also inhaling varying amounts of freon gas. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, freon gas is denser than air and travels very slowly to the upper atmosphere.
