Repair or Replace Your Wine Fridge?
Wine cooler repairs are usually a fan, a control, a door seal or a cooling module; compressor work costs more. Published ranges:
- Technician labor: $50–$200 per hour Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
- Service call / diagnostic minimum (usually credited toward the repair): $70–$130 per visit Source: HomeGuide - How much does freezer repair cost?

What Taft Owners Should Know
