A wine cooler holds a narrower temperature range than a refrigerator, so a unit that drifts a few degrees is already a problem for what is inside. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention wine coolers and refrigeration at the top.

What Kihei Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Kihei come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Hawaii has no appliance repair license classification; the Contractors License Board's specialty classifications cover related trades such as plumbing (including fuel gas piping), refrigeration, and ventilating and air conditioning, and a contractor license applies to jobs that need a building, electrical or plumbing permit.

In Hawaii, you can check a license with the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing public license search or report a problem to the Hawaii DCCA Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO).
