According to Clean Home Journal (http://www.cleanhomejournal.com/)
1. Turn control dial to "0" in both freezer and fridge.
2. Ditch old food and store good food in a cooler or on a side counter.
3. Place shelves in sink, scrubbing with soap and water. Then wipe clean.
4. Clean the inside of fridge.
5. Remove vegetable and meat compartments: clean up all spilled juices and thoroughly rinse.
6. Clean corners and rubber gasket with a toothpick. (I have never in my life done this - should I have admitted this?)
7. Clean door racks and reinstall.
8. Wipe the top of the fridge with a feather duster (edited to add - OR scrub top of fridge if needed).
9. Clean the exterior door and sides.
10. Clean hinges and nameplate with a toothbrush (are they kidding?).
11. Move fridge out from wall, vacuum and brush up dust, lint and pet hair on floor and around coils (no comment).
12. Sanitize your drip pan (another no comment....drip pan?
13. Put fridge back into place – and keep it clean! Weekly cleanings help reduce spoiled food odors. A box of baking soda left open on a shelf absorbs odor. Some cleaning experts suggest placing a coffee can filled with charcoal in your fridge and replacing it every six weeks to two months.

Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a new fridge? LOL! My wish list fridge is shown above. Of course that will be purchased just as soon as I win the lottery.
