Strong musty or moldy odor inside the wine cooler.

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

Steps:

• Empty the cooler: Remove all bottles and shelves.
• Clean interior: Wash walls, shelves, and racks with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, or a mixture of baking soda and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Clean gasket: Wipe the door gasket folds with a mild disinfectant or vinegar solution to remove mold.
• Check drain and pan: Clean the condensate drain and rear drain pan to remove stagnant water and slime.
• Air out: Leave the door open for several hours to allow odors to dissipate before restocking.
