Refrigerator interior has a strong unpleasant odor even after cleaning.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before deep cleaning or removing panels.

Odor removal steps:

• Empty and clean interior: Remove all food and shelves. Wash all surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, then wipe with a baking soda solution.
• Clean door gaskets: Gently pull back the Vestfrost door seals and clean inside folds where mold can grow.
• Check and clean drain pan: Access the rear and remove the drain pan. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and disinfect, then reinstall.
• Replace air filter: If your model has an internal deodorizing or carbon filter, replace it according to the manual.
• Ventilate: Leave doors open for several hours (with power off) to air out the cabinet.

Tip: Keep an open box of baking soda inside to absorb residual odors.
