How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals that can damage interior surfaces.

  • Empty and clean: Remove all bottles and shelves. Wash interior surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, then wipe with a mixture of 1 tablespoon baking soda in 1 quart of water.
  • Dry thoroughly: Leave the door open and allow the interior to dry completely.
  • Check drain: Ensure the drain hole is clear so condensate does not stagnate.
  • Odor absorbers: Place an open box of baking soda or a charcoal odor absorber inside to help prevent future odors.
