What Shelby Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Shelby come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
North Carolina has no license specific to appliance repair; work on gas appliances, fuel piping and heating equipment is regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating, and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, with an exemption for minor repairs that don't change fuel type, venting or piping.
