How do I remove this sour smell? It gave the UPSdriver a bad impression when he handed it to me cautiously.

I am curious about that myself. I am going to try letting it lie in the sun for a while then cleaning it with vinegar.

Had no smell on mine. How could it smell so bad through a plastic bag, and cardboard box as to offend a ups driver? If it is that bad send it back!

you don't. i soaked mine for a week and its been in the sun for 2 months. that's helped, but its still there.

The one I received just smelled like rubber, tire rubber, but not overwhelming. I would just let it soak for an hour or so in soapy water and let dry in the sun.

I talked to customer service about the awful smell. They said it's bc it is pure and has not been refined. It is normal for the pure oil to smell this way. I agree tho, it stinks.

hmmm...I might think about returning it. There was no oil or smell of oil on ours. Makes me think something got spilled on it in the factory or something. Good luck.

Leave it out in the air...Mother Nature has her way of cleansing bad odors quickly. I didn't have an odorproblem with my case but I would do the above if I did. Good luck!

The carberator is gummed up. Get a can of carb cleaner and use it liberally.

Not sure what that smell is caused from. Didn't have any problem with mine, as far as odor. I'd ask Whirlpool about it. Maybe you can get a replacement. Good luck!!!

Hi. I had the same issue with smell. I did not run the machine right away. I took it out and cleaned the filter in Lysol and let it sit for about 30 mins. Then rinsed really well and put it back after it dried completely. There was a slight smell for a few days, but it has gone away. You may want to put it outside or wipe down with baking soda and water just to help get rid of the smell.

Check the battery and clean the nozzle from were the soap comes out.use a toothpick

How weird. Mine smells kinda like leather. Maybe you should return it if it doesn't clear up.

No, we didn't but opened it outdoors. You might try Nok-Out Odor Eliminator and/or a water sealer to help with the odor.

Unless your talking about the scent of clean rubber, I'm not sure what you are referring to. If there is any other odor, you should either clean it with peroxide or send it back..

I noticed a slight chemical smell when I un-boxed it, but it was gone later that day. I used febreeze and kept my window open to help the process along.

Hi. Per manufacturer, it is normal to smell a plastic/electrical small from this unit when it is new.As you use the unit, the smell should become less and less. Eventually you should not smell the plastic/electrical smell any longer. Thank you!

Mine had a little odor when arrived. I left it open for a few days then it's gone.

Mine did not smell different. U may have gotten a bad one or something. Probably see about an exchange and gage from there.
