LG refrigerator - There is an odor in the refrigerator

Causes and Symptoms

• Food is stored in the refrigerator without being placed in airtight containers.
• It’s been a long time since I cleaned the inside of the refrigerator.
• It is the time to replace the fresh air filter.
• Vegetables have been stored in the vegetable drawer for too long.

Refrigerators are designed to seal in order to effectively hold cold air, so the smell of food in the refrigerator does not escape easily.
Therefore, when storing food, seal it so that odors do not permeate within the refrigerator.
If you use a refrigerator with a fresh air filter, check if it's time to replace the filter.

Do you store food in the refrigerator without sealing it?

➔ Store food in airtight containers or plastic bags.

Storing unsealed food in the refrigerator may cause the smell of food to remain in the refrigerator.
In most cases, the smell of stored food gradually permeates storage containers, walls, shelves, etc., and then smells can mix over time to create unpleasant odors.
There is a deodorant in the product, but the deodorant alone cannot completely remove such odors.
Therefore, it is important to seal food when storing it, and periodic quick cleaning along good with ventilation are effective in preventing and removing odors.

Is a shelf or a basket in the refrigerator stained with food?

➔ Clean the inside of the refrigerator using lukewarm water.

When cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, wipe off foreign objects with a soft cloth or a clean wet towel, etc.
If you used a neutral detergent, clean the inside of the refrigerator with a clean wet towel to prevent stains.

Is the temperature of the refrigerator compartment set higher so that odor particles spread more easily?

➔ Press the [Refrigerator] button on the refrigerator to lower the temperature of the refrigerator.

If there is an odor in the refrigerator, it may be because the temperature in the refrigerator compartment is high, allowing odor particles to spread easily.
The temperature of the refrigerator compartment can be adjusted between 0°C and 6°C with the [Refrigerator] button, so use it to lower the temperature.
