That is 3rd of the 35 states with any, against 6 in Texas. Wine cooler work is a narrower speciality than the everyday kitchen and laundry calls, so coverage is thin in most states. 41 other appliance businesses are listed in Florida, and general technicians will often take this work once they know the model. Have the model number ready when you call.
Counted from the 3 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Florida holds 3 listed wine cooler repair businesses, out of 56 nationwide. That ranks 3rd of the 35 states with any, level with California and behind Texas on 6. They are 3 of the 44 businesses listed in Florida — 7% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.8, against 4.7 across all 56 listed nationwide, and 3 of the 3 sit at 4.5 or better. 1 holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 1,920 reviews, the largest single tally being 1,409 on Excellence Appliance Repair in Orlando. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Excellence Appliance Repair in Orlando (1,409 reviews, 4.9), Flamingo Appliance Service in Miami (482 reviews, 4.6) and BIG MIKE'S Appliance Service in Longwood (29 reviews, 5.0). By rating it is BIG MIKE'S Appliance Service at 5.0 on 29 reviews, Excellence Appliance Repair at 4.9 on 1,409 reviews and Flamingo Appliance Service at 4.6 on 482 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 3 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 1 shows a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 1 publishes a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, so call early in the day and ask directly. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
2 of the 3 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 2007, and the median across those that say is 15 years. Orlando holds the most at 2 — 67% of the group — followed by Miami on 1, across 2 Florida cities with an index page. Between them they name 18 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

Not counted above
These are real Florida companies whose records carry contact details but no list of what they repair. None of them states wine cooler repair, so none is counted in the 3 above, and none is listed here as servicing one. Asking takes one phone call, which beats starting the search again.

The 5 most common wine cooler faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.
Not cooling, thermoelectric model, fans running
TechnicianThe Peltier module has degraded, or the ambient room temperature is too high for the technology to bridge.
Step-by-step: Wine Cooler Not Cooling→Not cooling, compressor model, compressor silent
Licensed trade onlyA start relay, a control board, or a sealed-system fault. The last is EPA Section 608 work.
Step-by-step: Wine Cooler Not Cooling→Temperature swings by several degrees through the day
TechnicianA failed thermistor or a control board losing calibration. Wine is more sensitive to swings than to the absolute setting.
Condensation on the inside of the glass door
Homeowner fixA perished door seal, a misaligned door, or a dual-zone unit with the wrong zone settings. Glass doors condense readily.
One zone works and the other does not, dual-zone unit
TechnicianThe damper, the second fan, or a zone thermistor. The compressor circuit is usually shared and is not the fault.
5 published wine cooler guides. A diagnostic fee is $60–$130 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.
Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.
Vacuum the condenser or heat-sink fins
Every 6 monthsPrevents: The gradual loss of cooling capacity that gets mistaken for a failed module.
Confirm the ventilation clearance the manual specifies
After any movePrevents: Heat recirculation, which is the leading cause of early failure.
Check the door seal and that the door self-closes
Every 6 monthsPrevents: Condensation on the glass and a unit that runs continuously.

Every state with a listed wine cooler specialist, most first. Florida sits 3rd of 35 on 3.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $60–$130 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Florida sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.
| Repair | Parts + labor |
|---|---|
| Door seal replacement and door alignmentFixes most condensation complaints. | $150–$300 |
| Thermistor or temperature sensorThe usual cause of temperature swings. | $150–$300 |
| Circulation or cooling fanCommon on both cooling technologies. | $180–$350 |
| Peltier module (thermoelectric)Confirm the room is not simply too warm before replacing it. | $200–$400 |
| Control boardDual-zone boards sit at the top of this range. | $250–$500 |
| Compressor start relay (compressor model)Cheap part, quick job — worth testing before anything else. | $180–$350 |
10–15 years for a compressor unit, and closer to 5–8 for a thermoelectric one — Peltier modules degrade gradually with run hours rather than failing outright. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.
Blue Book
A quote above $250 on a wine cooler past 7 years old is usually better spent on a replacement.
