Wine cooler emits a musty or moldy odor from inside the cabinet.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before deep cleaning. Use non-toxic cleaners safe for food-contact surfaces.

• 1. Remove all contents: Take out all bottles and shelves.
• 2. Clean interior: Wash interior walls, shelves, and gasket with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, followed by a diluted vinegar or baking soda rinse to neutralize odors.
• 3. Clear drain and pan: Ensure the defrost drain is clear and clean the rear drain pan, which can harbor stagnant water and odors.
• 4. Dry thoroughly: Leave the door open and allow the interior to dry completely before restocking.
• 5. Improve circulation: Avoid overpacking the cooler so air can circulate around bottles.

Note: Regular cleaning and promptly wiping spills will prevent most odor issues.
