Well,

- avsteele 2y agoThat professor's statement was pretty silly. Burning electronics does have a strong, distinct odor. If they are unfamiliar with that, its totally plausible that's all that they smelled. Refrigerators are a few PCBs, a heat pump, a closed loop refrigerant, and a cooler. There really isn't anything especially exotic there.
