WINE COOLER & WINE REFRIGERATOR REPAIR

Keep Your Wine at the Perfect Temperature

Wine coolers also referred to as wine refrigerators, chill wine to optimum storage and serving temperatures. They come in various storage capacities, and keep wine between 45 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the type of wine. By maintaining ideal temperature and humidity conditions for wine storage, wine refrigerators are great for connoisseurs who don’t have access to a wine cellar.

A broken or poorly functioning wine refrigerator can make for a lackluster wine-drinking experience. Get your wine cooler repaired fast so you can get back to entertaining!

If you run into any of the following issues, or another problem, call us:

  1. The cooler won’t turn on.

This could be due to a variety of reasons. Make sure you check for faulty fuses, tripped breakers, and loosened power cords.

  1. The wine cooler isn’t cooling.

Depending on the model, this could be due to thermostat problems, condenser or compressor issues, or evaporator fan motor damage.

  1. The cooler is leaking water.

Compressor models may leak water if the door has been left open, door seals are defective or dirty, or a drain hose is plugged.

  1. The wine cooler is making noise.

Some popping and cracking is normal due to temperature changes. If there are vibrating noises, make sure the cooler is level. If grinding or squealing, call for service.

  1. The door does not close properly.

Ensure that the surface is level. If it is and the problem persists, check for dirty door gaskets or improperly positioned shelves.
