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. This page lists independent appliance repair companies serving Norfolk and the Madison County area, with companies that mention wine coolers or refrigeration work shown first.

What Norfolk Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Norfolk come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Nebraska does not license appliance repair technicians at the state level; contractors working on other people's property register with the Department of Labor, and trade licenses such as plumbing are handled by cities and villages. Source: Nebraska Department of Labor: Who Needs to Register
In Nebraska, you can check a license with the Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration (Search Registered Contractors and Subcontractors) or report a problem to the Nebraska Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
