Wine coolers come in two basic designs: compressor units, which work like a small refrigerator, and thermoelectric units, which cool with a solid-state module and a pair of fans. The repair path is different for each. 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.

Wine Cooler Installation Notes
On an undercounter beverage center, keep the lower front of the unit clear, since its cabinet needs adequate airflow to shed heat. Source: Frigidaire - Beverage Center Use & Care Guide (A30847101)
A wine cooler is best installed where room temperature stays between about 70°F and 78°F, and not in an unheated or uninsulated space such as a garage. Source: Frigidaire - Wine Cooler Use & Care Guide (A15310502)

What Wine Cooler Repair Costs
Wine cooler repairs are usually a fan, a control, a door seal or a cooling module; compressor work costs more. Published ranges:
- Technician labor: $100–$250 per hour Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a refrigerator?
- Service call / diagnostic minimum (usually credited toward the repair): $70–$130 per visit Source: HomeGuide - How much does freezer repair cost?
For a newer built-in ice maker, replacing just the failed motor may be the best option, while on some older units a motor costs about as much as a new ice maker. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair an ice maker?
