Is your window open?  When I run my fridge with the window over it open,
every so often a whiff of the propane exhaust blows in through the window.
Smells like the exhaust from a lit propane stove.

You could also be smelling dust burning off the burner compartment, if the
fridge hasn't been run much recently.
