The fan motor operates in the mechanical compartment down in the rear of the refrigerator to disperse heat when the cooling motor(compressor) is in operation.
During this time, outside air will be drawn into the mechanical compartment.
If the refrigerator has been used for a long period in a dusty environment, or if the refrigerator is installed too close to a wall, dust can accumulate and prevent efficient air circulation, which can decrease the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
Foreign substances may enter the mechanical compartment located at the bottom rear of the refrigerator, causing an odor.
There may be a bad odor due to the accumulation of foreign substances around the mechanical compartment.
