LG Refrigerator - Why Does My Refrigerator Smell Like Plastic?

At a Glance

Newly purchased products may have a particular plastic odor.

➔ The smell of a new product will automatically disappear over time, so please do not worry.

Refrigerators are boxed and stored at the time of manufacture.
Odors caused from manufacturing are trapped inside the packaging as it is not sufficiently ventilated.
Once it’s installed and used at home, the smell gradually disappears.

Wait! Here are more tips

If the plastic smell is severe, you can remove the smell by cleaning or ventilation.
To prevent and remove odors, use a soft wet towel to clean the inside of the refrigerator.
