Unpleasant musty or moldy odor inside the wine cooler.

Safety: Unplug the unit before deep cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage interior surfaces.

Steps to remove odors:

• Empty the cabinet: Remove all bottles and shelves.
• Clean interior: Wash walls, shelves, and gasket with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, followed by a rinse with a baking soda solution.
• Check drain and tray: Clean the condensate drain hole and rear drain tray to remove stagnant water and debris.
• Air out the unit: Leave the door open for several hours to dry completely before restocking.
• Prevent recurrence: Wipe spills immediately and ensure good air circulation by not overpacking bottles.

Note: Persistent odors after cleaning may indicate hidden mold in insulation or ducting; consult a technician if this occurs.
