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 Ontario and the Richland County area, with companies that mention wine coolers or refrigeration work shown first.

Local Notes for Ontario
Most wine cooler calls in Ontario come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.

In Ohio, you can check a license with the Ohio Department of Commerce OCILB Company Licensee Lookup or report a problem to the Ohio Attorney General, Consumer Protection Section.
