Wine Enthusiast wine cooler emits a strong plastic or chemical odor inside the cabinet.

Safety: Unplug the unit before deep cleaning. Ensure good room ventilation.

• Initial airing: For new units, run the cooler empty for several days with the door slightly ajar to allow odors to dissipate.
• Clean interior: Remove shelves and wash interior surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, followed by a rinse with a mixture of water and baking soda.
• Clean drip tray: Remove and clean the rear drain pan, which can harbor odors if wine or organic material has collected.
• Check for mold: Inspect gaskets, corners, and drain areas for mold. Clean with a diluted vinegar solution if needed.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use strong solvents or bleach inside the cabinet, as they can leave persistent odors.
