To remove mold from a refrigerator I found this home-made remedy that could be helpful for you.

Mold and Mildew: Use white vinegar or lemon juice full strength. Apply with a sponge or scrubby.

Here is an eco-friendly website for cleaning.

If this is visible mold, like bluegreen mold you might see on bread, just wash it with soap and water, then rinse with bleach. I would use it full strength, but you could dilute it with water.

Bleach kills mold. Be sure to use hot water as well, when you are washing. I would do this with black mildew as well.

Bleach will not kill mold the green or the black mold. I'm in mitigation and fire restoration. You need an antimicrobea that's kills beneath the surface not just on the top as well.

All those who have had problems with their GE Monogram Refrigerator with mold should post a complaint here. They changed the fan settings which did not work. I cleaned the entire refrigerator with bleach. All the drawers rusted and had to be replaced.

The mold is back again. This has been ongoing for 4 years. This is 2010. Refrigerators should not mold! Please post your complaint as I would like to know how many of us are out there when I contact the company again!

You need an antimicrobea on green or black mold. Bleach will Not kill mold.

I also have a GE Monogram refrigerator with the same mold rust issue. I keep bleaching it down, but the mold continues. I've lost a lot of food due to this problem.

I have mold in a second GE refrigerator. The first one I had only had for 2 - 3 years, this one for 9. I talked to the company, they were almost rude. I am shopping for a new refrigerator as we speak, and it will not be a GE.

Would be interested in a class action lawsuit against GE if one is going on. There is plenty of evidence, and people to contact, on the internet.

I bought a GE Monogram in 2006 and every 2-3 months theres mold everywhere!! Takes me an entire day to take all drawers out and clean. Now the tracks are rusted and the drawers barely open and close. It leaks water from refrigerator side and then it gets ice build up on the freezer side. About 3 times a year I have to empty the entire freezer, unplug and let all the ice defrost for an entire day. Im furious and want the entire refrigerator replaced.

I'm having the same problem with our GE Monogram. We also have a pool of water under the bottom bin in the fridge.

I also have a GE Monogram and no matter how many times I clean it , it comes back. Does anyone know if there is a recall on this product?

I have a GE Profile and am most unhappy with it. It has black mold that I have been cleaning away for years now and it has water that pools at the bottom. I have never had a refrigerator mold like this before.

Black mold in every crevice. It is gross! Anyone know if GE is doing anything to help it's customers?

I purchased my GE Monogram refrigerator in 2004. Within a year or so it was growing mold. I called a repairman and he said I needed a new door gasket which I agreed to even though I felt like the one was perfectly fine that was on it. Well I can't begin to tell you how many times it has molded since then. I wash the entire inside down with full strength bleach, but in a few months it comes right back. Why doesn't GE acknowledge this problem?

I called a friend tonight that works at GE, he said there is a gasket that is allowing air in. This stuff is terrible. Mold getting worse and worse. In a $3000 refrigerator. 4 years old.

I bought a GE Profile refrigerator 3 years ago and have been battling mold for the past 6 months. When I googled "GE Profile refrigerator mold" I was shocked to see how many others were having the same problem. Why hasn't GE taken ownership of this problem and offered to replace the gaskets at no charge? How can we make GE step up to the plate on this one? I had a Kenmore fridge for 30 years and never, ever had a a problem with mold. I will never buy another GE appliance. Not happy in Boston!
