[LG refrigerator cleaning] The back of the refrigerator is dusty.

Troubleshooting

The fan motor operates in the mechanical compartment below 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.

Clean the back cover of the refrigerator with a vacuum cleaner

Try this

For safety purposes, unplug the power cord and use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the mechanical compartment cover first before wiping it down with a damp cloth or a wet wipe.

➔ Unplugging the power cord for a short period of time does not significantly affect the cooling effectiveness of the product.

Warning!
Do not disassemble the back cover (mechanical compartment cover).
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.
