What Bardstown Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Bardstown come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Kentucky has no license category for appliance repair as such; the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses trades such as HVAC (whose scope covers installing and repairing heating, burner and cooling systems), plumbing and electrical.

In Kentucky, you can check a license with the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction License Search and Verification or report a problem to the Kentucky Attorney General, Office of Consumer Protection.
