Mold or mildew growth and musty odor inside the wine cooler.

Safety: Unplug the unit before deep cleaning.

Steps:

• Empty and clean: Remove all bottles and shelves. Wash interior surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda or a mild disinfectant safe for food-contact surfaces.
• Dry thoroughly: Leave the door open and allow the interior to dry completely.
• Inspect gasket: Replace a leaking gasket to reduce moisture ingress.
• Prevent recurrence: Avoid storing open bottles without proper sealing and periodically wipe condensation.
