The repair path is different for each.

What Destin Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Destin come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
