How do I add a mini fridge to a cabinet space? I'm installing a wet bar in a former pantry space. There is just enough width for a cabinet with about two cabinet doors. The bar will have a countertop, wet bar sink, and mirrors and shelves for holding glasses. My question is how do I put in the mini fridge? It is small enought to fit in the cabinet and will take up about half of the front face of the cabinets. Do I glue the cabinet door to the front of the fridge and position the fridge in the proper place? If so, how does the door open correctly and not bump against the cabinet frame? I think just leaving the fridge there without a cabinet door would look funny since the stainless steel would take up half of the bar face.

How do I clean a disgusting mini fridge? My roommate and I were moving to a different apartment. We defrosted our mini fridge, but when we moved it, I forgot to take out the tray underneath the freezer part. It had all the melted ice and gross suff, and it spilled all over. We were in a rush, so we didn't clean the inside of the fridge at the time. A few days later when we opened the fridge, it smells like something died in there. I've been trying to clean it for weeks, and the smell keeps coming back. I've tried to clean it with baking soda and water, scrubbed the inside with soap, and sprayed Lysol Antibacterial Food Contact Surface Cleaner (what a mouthful) to disinfect it. I've even unscrewed the door and cleaned off the gross stuff growing in the rubber lining, and it still smells awful. I am reluctant to throw away the fridge, and I want to know if there's anything else I could do to save it.
