A moldy or musty odor is present inside the wine cooler.

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

Steps:

• Empty the cabinet: Remove all bottles and shelves.
• Clean interior: Wipe all surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water, followed by a mixture of water and baking soda or a food-safe disinfectant.
• Clean drain system: Clear the condensate drain hole and clean the drain pan to remove stagnant water and biofilm.
• Dry thoroughly: Leave the door open for several hours to allow complete drying before restocking.
• Odor absorbers: Place an open box of baking soda or a charcoal odor absorber inside to help prevent future odors.
