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.

Around International Falls
Most wine cooler calls in International Falls 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.
