Fishy smell
Detecting a fishy odor in your home but don’t remember buying any seafood recently? This home odor problem could indicate that an electrical fixture, probably an appliance, in your home has been overheating.
The “fishy” or potentially acrid smell can mean the rubber, plastic, or any other material around the afflicted device is melting. If you ignore this home odor problem for too long, it could potentially cause your home to go up in flames.
To identify the source, sniff around and identify where it’s coming from. If it really is coming from an appliance, you should call a repair expert immediately.
They will determine if it’s fixable or needs replacing. If it seems to be coming from a switch or outlet, shut off your circuit breaker and call a pro.
