Check for loose components and tighten any loose parts, clean the fan and compressor area, and ensure the fridge is level.

Once completed, place an open box of baking soda in the fridge to absorb any remaining odours.

We recommend making a small adjustment to increase (warm) the temperature. Additionally, moving food items away from the interior vent and back wall should help.
