Refrigerator emits a strong musty or mouldy odour.

Safety: Unplug before deep cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals inside the food compartment.

Steps:

• Empty and clean: Remove all food and shelves. Wash interior surfaces with a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda.
• Clean gaskets: Wipe door seals thoroughly, pulling back folds to remove trapped debris.
• Drain cleaning: Clean the fridge condensate drain channel and hole with a soft brush and mild disinfectant, then flush with warm water.
• Rear drain pan: At the back, remove and clean the drain pan above the compressor if accessible.
• Air out: Leave doors open for several hours to dry completely before restarting.
