Counted from the 6 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
Texas holds 6 listed wine cooler repair businesses, out of 56 nationwide. That is the largest count of the 35 states with any, ahead of California on 3. They are 6 of the 58 businesses listed in Texas — 10% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.7, level with the 4.7 average across all 56 listed nationwide, and 5 of the 6 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 1,773 reviews, the largest single tally being 914 on Appliance Rescue Service in Addison. 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 Appliance Rescue Service in Addison (914 reviews, 4.9), ABA Appliance Repair, Inc. in Austin (589 reviews, 4.2) and Uptown Appliance Repair, LLC in Houston (149 reviews, 4.9). By rating it is Appliance Rescue Service at 4.9 on 914 reviews, Uptown Appliance Repair, LLC at 4.9 on 149 reviews and Uptown Appliance Repair at 4.9 on 13 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 6 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 4 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 4 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 6 advertises 24/7 emergency callout, and 2 advertise same-day service. 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.
6 of them publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 16 years. Dallas holds the most at 2 — 33% of the group — level with Houston, across 4 Texas cities with an index page. Between them they name 41 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 Texas 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 6 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. Texas sits 1st of 35 on 6.
National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $60–$130 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Texas 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.
