Repair or Replace Your Wine Fridge?

- Diagnostic fee (often deducted from the final bill): $50–$100 per visit Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
- Service call / diagnostic minimum (usually credited toward the repair): $70–$130 per visit Source: HomeGuide - How much does freezer repair cost?

What Murrells Inlet Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Murrells Inlet 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.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
