A bad smell inside your LG double door fridge is more common than you think and easier to fix than you might expect. Here is everything you need to know.
A bad smell inside your fridge is one of the most common household problems, especially during Indian summers when food spoils faster and storage needs increase. Spills, expired items, and poor airflow can all lead to unpleasant odours that spread quickly through the fridge. While LG double door refrigerators come with advanced deodoriser technologies, regular use without proper maintenance can still make odours a noticeable problem. The good news is that a few simple habits and cleaning steps can eliminate odour build-up entirely.
If the smell persists despite regular cleaning, it may be time to upgrade to a newer model with better odour-control features. During the Bajaj Finserv Summer Sale, you can purchase your desired LG refrigerator at a highly competitive price, thanks to limited-time offers and discounts. By visiting any of the 1.5 lakh+ Bajaj Finserv partner stores, you can avail of an Easy EMI Loan offering financing of up to Rs. 5 lakh. Repay in affordable instalments with flexible tenures ranging from 1 to 60 months. Select models also come with a zero down payment offer, so you can upgrade without financial strain.
Quick tips to fix odour problems in your LG double door fridge
If your LG double door fridge smells unpleasant, here are the most effective ways to eliminate odour build-up:
- Deep clean every one to two months: Empty the fridge, unplug it, and remove all shelves and door racks. Soak removable parts in warm water mixed with baking soda for 15 to 20 minutes, then scrub with a soft sponge. Wipe the walls, corners, and door panel with a cloth soaked in soapy water. Air dry all parts before restocking.
- Inspect stored food weekly: Check for discoloured, mouldy, or expired food every week and discard immediately. Acting quickly prevents odour from spreading to other items.
- Store food in airtight containers: Avoid placing uncovered plates inside the fridge. Use airtight containers or ziplock bags, especially for strong-smelling foods like fish, cheese, and cooked curries.
- Clean door seals regularly: The rubber gaskets on your fridge door trap food particles, dirt, and moisture, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and mould. Wipe them down with a damp cloth every time you clean the fridge.
- Maintain the correct temperature: Keep your LG double door fridge between 2°C and 4°C. Higher temperatures encourage bacterial growth and accelerate food spoilage — particularly important during Indian summers.
- Use natural odour absorbers: Place an open box of baking soda, coffee grounds, or citrus slices inside the fridge to absorb residual odours naturally. Use one remedy at a time for best results.
- Air out the fridge occasionally: If odours persist, unplug the fridge and leave both doors open for a few hours. This allows odours to dissipate and refreshes the interior.
Top LG double door fridges for odour-free storage
If odours persist despite regular cleaning, upgrading to a newer LG model with advanced odour-control technology is worth considering. Models with FRESHBalancer technology maintain optimal humidity for fruits and vegetables, while inverter linear compressors prevent sharp temperature fluctuations that accelerate food spoilage.
