Wine coolers come in two basic designs: compressor units, which work like a small refrigerator, and thermoelectric units, which cool with a solid-state module and a pair of fans. The repair path is different for each. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention wine coolers and refrigeration at the top.

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 Sandy Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Sandy come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Oregon has no license issued specifically for appliance repair that we could confirm, but anyone installing or servicing liquefied petroleum (LP) gas appliances needs an LP gas fitter license from the Oregon State Fire Marshal. Source: Liquefied Petroleum Gas licensing (Oregon State Fire Marshal)
In Oregon, you can check a license with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board Contractor/License Search or report a problem to the Oregon Department of Justice, Consumer Protection.
