Most wine cooler calls in Highland Park come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
New Jersey has no license specific to appliance repair; plumbing work is reserved to state-licensed master plumbers, and gas piping work on the customer side of the meter falls under HVACR contractor licensing, both overseen by boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs.
