<h2 class="tit">Causes and Symptoms</h2>
        <p>
            Smell from other stored food in the refrigerator could affect the smell and taste of ice.<br/>
            In such cases, placing the food stored in the freezer in airtight containers and removing the food odors emanating from the shelves and walls will solve the ice odor issue.            
        </p>        
<h2 class="tit">Try this</h2>
        
<h3 class="sub-tit">Store food in airtight containers or plastic bags.</h3>
        <p>
            Refrigerators are designed with a sealed structure to effectively maintain cold temperatures.<br/>
            As a result, smell from food also do not easily escape the refrigerator.<br/>
            Therefore, it is advised to keep odor-causing foods particularly well-sealed in the freezer.            
        </p>

<h3 class="sub-tit">Clean the inside of the refrigerator with lukewarm water.</h3>
        <p>
            To effectively clean the inside of the refrigerator, please remove all contents.<br/>
            Then, thoroughly wipe the inside, including the shelves and walls.<br/>
            This should be done using a soft cloth or a clean, damp cloth.<br/>
            If you have used a neutral detergent, it is advised to wipe again with a clean cloth to prevent any stains.

                <strong>The taste of water could be different compared to your previously used dispenser.</strong><br/>
                If you previously used a dispenser from a different company, you may notice a difference in taste of water to your current dispenser.<br/>
                The taste of water can vary depending on the raw materials used in the water filters by different companies.
</div>
            
<div class="con-view">
                <strong>If you use groundwater, you may notice a smell in the water due to substances in the groundwater.</strong><br/>
                Nitrate nitrogen and algae components in groundwater can cause a smell in the water.<br/>
                Groundwater is not recommended for use as it can quickly clog the water filter.
            </div>
            
<div class="con-view">
                <strong>If you haven't used the dispenser for a long time, you may notice a strange odor.</strong><br/>
                If you haven't used the water dispenser for a long time and are starting to use it again, replace the water filter with a new one.<br/>
                After replacing the water filter, dispense both cold water and ambient water for 5-10 minutes each.
            </div>
            
<div class="con-view">
                <strong>In the summer, you may notice a smell of disinfectant.</strong><br/>
                During the summer, if excessive chlorine is used for disinfection in the water treatment plant, there may be a temporary smell of disinfectant.
