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)

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: $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?
