Foreign substances may get into the mechanical compartment in the lower part of the back of the refrigerator and cause an odor.
➔ When many foreign substances accumulate around the mechanical compartment, they may cause odors.
When you buy a new product, it may emit a rubber odor in the beginning.
➔ Vibration-proof rubber is attached to reduce the noise from the cooling motor (compressor), and there may be a rubber odor caused by the heat from the compressor when the motor is running.
Try this
If there are foreign substances (insect corpses/rotten grains/dust), remove them.
1. Disconnect the power cord to prevent accidents.
2. Keep dust off the cover of the mechanical compartment using a vacuum cleaner.
Do not separate the back cover (cover of the mechanical compartment).
Doing so may result in an accident and increase the risk of internal gas pipe damage.
Disassembling and cleaning this part should be done by a service technician.
When you buy a new product, it may emit a rubber odor in the beginning.
Vibration-proof rubber is attached to reduce the noise from the cooling motor (compressor), and there may be a rubber odor caused by the heat from the compressor when the motor is running.
Particularly in the early stage of use, the cooling motor will be running for a long period and thus the odor may be strong.
Rest assured, as the odor from a new machine will gradually reduce after one or two months of use.
