Most wine cooler calls in Irmo come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.
