Strong musty or moldy odor inside the wine cooler.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use non-abrasive, food-safe cleaners.

Steps to remove odor:

• 1. Empty the cabinet: Remove all bottles and shelves.
• 2. Clean interior surfaces: Wash walls, shelves, and gasket with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, followed by a rinse with a baking soda solution (1–2 tablespoons per quart of water).
• 3. Clean drain system: Clear the evaporator drain and flush with warm water to remove stagnant water.
• 4. Dry thoroughly: Leave the door open and allow the interior to dry completely before restocking.
• 5. Improve circulation: Ensure vents are not blocked by bottles or shelves.
