What Wine Cooler Repair Costs
Wine cooler repairs are usually a fan, a control, a door seal or a cooling module; compressor work costs more. Published ranges:
- Service call: $45–$150 per visit Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
- Technician labor: $50–$200 per hour Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?

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.
