Black mold is not good. I suggest getting a new fridge, but if that's not possible...
The fact is not all black molds are toxic; in fact, there may be more non-toxic black molds than there are toxic.
To remove the mold, mist with water first. If it's too dry, then the mold spores may become airborne during the cleaning process. Use soap to remove as much of the mold as possible and then, use a disinfectant to kill any mold spores left behind. Make sure that you thoroughly clean the area, even if no mold is visible; mold spores are microscopic and they can remain dormant for months or years.
Upon removal of the mold, dry the area thoroughly.
Put the molds in plastic bags and throw them away. When you go out and clean other areas of the house that are infested with mold, don't carry the bags with you, even if you're sure they're tightly sealed. They may still spread the spores. Instead, throw the bags via the window or other openings leading outside. They can then be properly disposed of in landfills.
Bleach is your friend, friend.

Besides the mold you are dealing with the smell. The smell is in the insulation. There is no way to replace it. The insulation was installed before before the shell was put in.
Throw it out.
