Fridge smells like chemicals but works

So I can’t figure out what’s causing this nail polish remover/acetone smell in my fridge. I only smell it inside the fridge, when I open the door I can smell it. I completely cleaned out the whole fridge removing anything I thought to be bad, wiped everything down really good. Put baking soda in there to deodorize hoping it would go away, no luck. It’s still there just as strong.

I read somewhere about leaking refrigerant but label says it has R134A and apparently that doesn’t smell?

I don’t suspect leak because I put some thermometers in there and the temps look normal. 40 degrees fridge. 10 degrees in the freezer.

I do notice the freezer tends to freezer burn things.

I don’t know a lot about fridges so I don’t know what else it could be and wouldn’t want to get rid of a working fridge if there’s some fix for this smell.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
