Local Notes for New River
Most wine cooler calls in New River come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.

In Arizona, you can check a license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search or report a problem to the Arizona Attorney General Consumer Protection.
