Musty or moldy odor inside the wine cooler.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before deep cleaning. Use non-abrasive, food-safe cleaners.

Steps to remove odors:

• 1. Empty the cabinet: Remove all bottles and shelves. Store wine in a cool, dark place temporarily.
• 2. Clean interior: Wash all interior surfaces, shelves, and racks with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• 3. Disinfect: Wipe surfaces with a solution of water and white vinegar (1:1) to kill mold and neutralize odors.
• 4. Check drain and pan: Clean the drain hole and external drain pan to remove stagnant water and debris.
• 5. Air out: Leave the door open for several hours with the unit unplugged to allow complete drying.
• 6. Prevent recurrence: Avoid storing open bottles, wipe spills immediately, and ensure the door gasket seals to control humidity.
