Wine Cooler Installation Notes
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)
Leave about 2 inches of open space behind a freestanding wine cooler so air can circulate. Source: Frigidaire - Wine Cooler Use & Care Guide (A15310502)

What Reno Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Reno come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Nevada has no license class for appliance repair as such; contracting work on gas piping, gas vents and water heaters falls under the State Contractors Board's C-1 plumbing and heating subclassifications. Source: Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 624 (NAC 624.190)
In Nevada, you can check a license with the Nevada State Contractors Board License Search or report a problem to the Nevada Attorney General, Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Before You Book in Reno
- Can you tell on the phone whether my unit is compressor or thermoelectric, and does that change the repair?
- Can you get fans, controls or a cooling module for my model?
- Do you work on my wine cooler brand, and on built-in as well as freestanding units?
