Placement and Ventilation
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 Salem Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Salem 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.
