While climbing out we could smell something that was like burnt plastic. The lead flight attendant called and said he could smell something as well in the forward part of the airplane but not in the aft part. We followed company procedures; using the QRH to trouble shoot but after a few minutes the smell went away. We were not able to determine where the source of the smell was coming from or what dissipated it. After landing we contacted Maintenance; Dispatch and Operations. After Maintenance looked at the aircraft they determined that there were no mechanical issues.
Right after takeoff; on initial climb; the smell of burnt rubber was smelled profusely in the cockpit. The forward Flight Attendant called stating that he smelled it as well. After about 5 minutes; the smell dissipated rapidly after 10 minutes the smell was completely gone. We ran the appropriate checklists for odor. There was never smoke; just odor. I did call ZZZ Tower to ask if there was any FOD reported; in the thought of a blown tire. They came back with a; 'negative; no reports.' Cause: We never found a reason as to why the reason occurred. Maintenance was called and met us at the gate in ZZZ1.
ERJ flight crew reported a fume event during initial climb that was also detected by Flight Attendants. The fumes dissipated during trouble shooting.
