# JennAir wine cellar repair cost

### Two degrees is worth the call

A refrigerator two degrees off is an inconvenience. A cellar two degrees off, held for months, is a measurable change to what is in it — and two degrees is early, which is exactly when this is cheap. This appliance almost never stops. It drifts, and no panel on it reports humidity to you at all.

### The free answer, and why it is common here

Undercounter cabinets breathe through a grille at the bottom. In a kitchen where the cabinetry was finished after the appliances went in — which is most luxury kitchens — that grille is regularly closed by a kick panel fitted flush, or a run built tight around it. The cabinet then works exactly as designed in a space that was not.

### What moves the figure

Zone count and access, more than any part. A grille and a condenser clean is the bottom of this band. An undercounter cabinet built into a run with very little air behind it, and a fan or damper at the back of it, is the top.

What moves this figure

Researched market range: thermistor $150–$300; zone fan or damper $200–$400

The toe-kick grille is checked before any part is considered

One wrong zone in a two-zone cabinet rules out the compressor immediately

The grille the cabinetry covered

Every undercounter cellar breathes through the grille at its base, and in a kitchen finished after the appliances went in that grille is regularly closed up. Uncovering it is sometimes the entire repair.

One zone or both

One wrong zone rules out the compressor, the condenser and the refrigerant in a single observation, which is why these diagnoses are usually short and land at the bottom of the band.

Undercounter or column

A column is the easier diagnosis and the harder access. An undercounter cabinet is the reverse, and is far more likely to be suffering from the run built around it.

Whether the complaint is noise

Vibration through the racks is a mount or a fan, and it is the one problem on this appliance you can detect before an instrument can.

### Is it worth calling for two degrees?

On this appliance, yes, and more than on any other in the kitchen. It is also the point at which the repair is cheapest, because a cabinet that has drifted has not yet done whatever a cabinet does next.

### Why does humidity matter, and why is it not on the display?

It matters because it shows on corks and labels long before it shows anywhere else. It is not on the display because none of these cabinets measures it for you. We measure it on the visit rather than asking about it.

### My house is empty half the year.

Then a visit before the season is worth more than one after it. A cellar that drifts in March is discovered in November, and by then the drift is the smaller half of the story.
