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.

Why Wine Coolers Stop Cooling
What a Wine Cooler Technician Checks
Give the Cooler Room to Breathe
A wine cooler is best installed where room temperature stays between about 70°F and 78°F, and not in an unheated or uninsulated space such as a garage. Source: Frigidaire - Wine Cooler Use & Care Guide (A15310502)
On an undercounter beverage center, keep the lower front of the unit clear, since its cabinet needs adequate airflow to shed heat. Source: Frigidaire - Beverage Center Use & Care Guide (A30847101)

What Kingsville Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Kingsville come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
