Sims Can't Put Away Leftovers (only one fridge)

Playing without mods or CC. I completed a build a couple weeks ago and when I went to play, my sims couldn't put their food away. I tried with all three sims in the house, but none could put away the food. There was nothing blocking the path to the fridge and they could still cook and GET leftovers from the fridge. It was ONLY the 'Put Away' action that they refused to do and acted as though something was blocking the path. 

I've now played another household in this same unmodded save and, once again after a round of redecorating their house, I was playing for a bit and when I had leftovers to put away they couldn't do it. Tried with multiple sims, but they all waved and gave me the lil icon with the feet and the ! in red.

Workaround
If you have a grocery bag on your lot, put that away first.

Photos included to showcase the area around the fridges.

I did test to see if the items placed on top with BB Move Objects were causing the issue, but even without those objects and even moving my friedge to another open space, Sims refused to put away leftovers

With both builds, there are several squares in all directions (aside from the back) of space around the fridge. Clutter items were moved to check if the issue was caused by them, but it wasn't, and there are no clutter items on top of the fridge for the second build.

    Correct! It’s the only fridge and there’s no mini fridges. And so sorry I didn’t see that there was another instance of this already posted. I looked through the list but must have accidentally overlooked it.

    The other is very specific to having a fridge in a locked area as well so your doesn't sound the same.

    Currently don't have the time too check this out further. Putting it on review for EA.

    Thank you for doing that! Much appreciated! (And you're correct, the fridge is not in a locked area either!)

    Currently having this issue myself with one household, tested others and they seem to be ok that's why I'm looking around the forum for any help/fixes. I came across this post and noticed that in one of the pics you have the grocery delivery bag on the counter. I know from the last time I had this bug that that causes issues with not being able to put food away, whether it's from having a delivery or using the debug item..if you delete that or put the groceries away you should be able to put leftovers away again :)

    I actually came here for the exact issue described in the intro post, because I started having this issue as well in one of my saves, but your answer actually fixed my problem! Both houses that I had this issue with were from the gallery where the grocery delivery debug item was used as decoration, and removing that from the lot fixed it!
