Glad you got it sorted. It happened to us once with electricity, the freezer was left with a horrible smell, it might sound daft but scrunched up newspapers put into the freezer so that just about fills the freezer, absorbs the smell, leave for 24 hours and then dump the paper, do it a few times. Now, anything we leave in the freezer is left in sealed plastic containers, so that if it should happen again we can just remove the boxes without opening them, and dispose of them. Another good tip is to fill an egg cup full of water and freeze it in the freezer, place a coin on top of the ice and if it is still sitting on top of the ice when you return, your electricity has not been off for a serious length of time, and come back on again.
