how to fix   How to fix

             1. Cleaning the refrigerator with alcohol helps to reduce the smell of plastic.

             2. Refrigerators are equipped with a deodorizer. If it is used for a long time, its ability will decline; replace or clean the deodorizer and inside of the refrigerator.

          ※ Since deodorizers are semi-permanent, you can reuse a deodorizer by rinsing it under running water and dry it with a blow dryer.

         ※ If a pungent food is spilled over a deodorizer, it needs to be replaced.
