Wineador smells like feet?

Putting beads or any humidification in a sealed wine cooler (or any thing that seals well) without something to absorb moisture could be the problem. In this case there were beads giving off moisture with nothing to absorb it. A dirty humidification device (e.g., floral foam or beads) could aggravate this.

I would guess an empty cigar box or some cedar strips might have prevented this, but that is only a guess.

A thorough wash with baking soda should clean it up.

Well it's not sealed yet. I still haven't plugged the drain. I wanted to see how I held RH before plugging it.

But yes, I'll probably give it a thorough wash with baking soda, let it dry, and then repeat. My drawers from Forrest come tomorrow, but I am in no rush. Better to fix the problem early, than deal with it later.
