I've had the occasional issue with toilets and refrigerators that continually emit the green stinky cloud. No matter what the Sim does, the toilet doesn't come clean, and the refrigerator has the clouds even when there's no spoiled food inside. Seems to happen with the top of the line items (toilet and fridge). Only solution is to buy new ones, which ends up costing some serious money when you take the difference between selling the busted one and buying the new one. I tried using testingcheats to do a reset object, and that didn't work, nor did moving out and back in.

haven't had any problems with fridges myself, however i have had issues with toilets; i've noticed that when a toilet is upgraded with the self clean, and a pregnant sim uses it, it becomes impossible to clean, only fix i've found for it is to sell and rebuy the toilet. hopefully they'll fix it soon

The issue with the dirty self-cleaning toilet can be found here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/The-Uncleanable-Toilet/td-p/3452553 Do Sims get a moodlet around the fridge ? Did you try if going traveling gets rid of the cloud ? @justme22

I have the ever dirty refrigerator since the last patch. Sims don't get the dirty surroundings moodlet but fridge has persistent stinky waves. Seems to happen once food does spoil, is cleaned out but stinky emitters persist. Checked the food, nothing spoiled, moved frige out - back in, replaced - doesn't matter -high end or low grade - the stink cloud persists. Tried the shift-click to "make clean" but that option doesn't show, tried resetting -doesn't work. I think at one time exiting the game and coming back in resolves it but it comes back.

I've had that before but for me traveling always made it be gone for good.

I keep running in to this. The fridge keeps having a green cloud of smell coming out of it. http://i.imgur.com/Ebz5Fnw.jpgEven when the fridge is empty it's still smelly:http://i.imgur.com/mw8FNE4.jpgAlso I can't do anything about it, I don't have an option to clean the fridge out. Like I would when I do have something in the fridge that needs to be cleaned up:http://i.imgur.com/Of5tq9Z.jpg(edit: I now see the cloud is gone, while there is something to clean up) I've had this issue before, and it seems to be this fridge every time. If I buy a new one it's fine but after a while it starts again. Has this been reported yet?

Do Sims get a moodlet around the fridge ? Did you try if going traveling gets rid of the cloud ?

The green cloud doesn't disappear immediately, so if you pull stuff out of the fridge and it was considering something you just pulled out to be spoiled, it will still be there for a little bit. That's probably why you saw it disappear in the third picture. I'm not sure what it's considering to be spoiled, or why you wouldn't have the option to clean it out.

I´ll give it a bit more time tonight to see if the fridge will be smelly when it´s empty.
Nevertheless it should not be smelly if there is nothing in there that past it´s expiration date.

I know of the reset sim, but the reset object @rumbutter???

(Edit: see you need Testingcheats on, that made my game crash once, haven't tried using that cheat ever again. But I guess it would help, because when I sell the fridge and get a new one it also is gone, for a while.)
