Why Wine Coolers Stop Cooling
What a Wine Cooler Technician Checks
Placement and Ventilation
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 Richfield Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Richfield 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.
