Unpleasant or musty odor inside the wine cooler.

Safety: Unplug the unit before deep cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage liners or gaskets.

• Empty and clean: Remove all bottles and racks. Wash interior surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, followed by a mixture of baking soda and water.
• Clean gasket: Gently scrub the door gasket folds where mold can hide.
• Check drain pan: Access the rear and inspect the drain pan above the compressor. Clean out any stagnant water or debris.
• Improve ventilation: After cleaning, leave the door slightly open for several hours to air out the cabinet.

Persistent odors may require replacing heavily contaminated gaskets or plastic components.
