What's usually behind it
Thermoelectric module failure
Compact coolers use a Peltier module and fans instead of a compressor. Modules and fans both wear; on smaller units we'll tell you honestly whether repair beats replacement.
Compressor-unit faults
Full-size and built-in coolers are small refrigerators — fan, thermostat, and start-relay failures dominate, and all repair the same way fridges do.
Door seal and ventilation
Built-in units suffocate when vents clog, and worn seals cause the frost and condensation people mistake for refrigerant problems.
Is it worth fixing?
Compressor-based and built-in: repair. Small thermoelectric countertop units: usually replace.
| Age | Our advice |
|---|---|
| Thermoelectric, any age | Usually replace — we'll tell you before booking. |

| Compressor, 10+ yrs | Repair fans/relays; weigh sealed-system work. |

Wine Cooler questions
Is a wine cooler worth a service call?
Built-in and full-size compressor units, yes. Small countertop thermoelectric units, usually not — and we'll tell you which yours is on the phone, free, before anyone drives anywhere.
What temperature swing is normal?
±2°F around the set point. Swings of 5–8° stress corks and usually mean a failing sensor, fan, or door seal — all worth fixing on a good unit.
