What a Wine Cooler Technician Checks
Give the Cooler Room to Breathe
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)
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)

What Crystal Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Crystal come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
Questions to Ask a Crystal Repair Technician
- Can you tell on the phone whether my unit is compressor or thermoelectric, and does that change the repair?

- What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
