Repair or Replace Your Wine Fridge?

- Appliance repair labor: $50–$125 per hour Source: HomeGuide - How much does freezer repair cost?

What Newport Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Newport come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Rhode Island does not issue a license named for appliance repair, but its Department of Labor and Training licenses pipefitters and refrigeration technicians, including a limited natural gas service license that covers servicing gas-fueled appliances.

In Rhode Island, you can check a license with the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board: Search a Registrant/Licensee or report a problem to the Rhode Island Attorney General, Consumer Protection Unit.
