(469) 638-3215Wine cooler too warm, temperature swinging, or frost on the back wall? ALAS Appliance Repair fixes built-in and freestanding wine refrigerators and beverage centers across Flower Mound, from Lakeside and the Long Prairie Road corridor to Wellington, Bridlewood and the Cross Timbers estates.
Business Profile

Montalcino Estates listings mention outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, sinks and refrigerators, and many estate homes in the Cross Timbers add a wine column or dual-zone wine refrigerator indoors as well. In Bridlewood, wine storage often sits in a wet bar or butler’s pantry between the kitchen and dining room. These units hold a narrow temperature range, so a slow drift of a few degrees, condensation on the glass or a fan that runs constantly can each point to a problem before the wine is affected.
Built-in wine columns, including Sub-Zero, Thermador and Miele models, breathe through a grille at the front of the base, so anything blocking it can push the temperature up fast. Outdoor wine coolers must be rated for exterior use; an indoor model placed on a covered patio may struggle through a Flower Mound summer. If yours is noisy, frosting at the back wall or not reaching its set point, note the brand, model and whether it is single- or dual-zone before calling.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Flower Mound from Lakeside and Parker Square along Long Prairie Road (FM 2499) and Cross Timbers Road (FM 1171) to Timbercreek, Wellington, Bridlewood, Montalcino Estates and Canyon Falls.

Yes. We repair built-in wine columns and wine refrigerators from Sub-Zero, Thermador, Miele, Monogram and similar brands. These are set flush into cabinetry, so removal takes care. We diagnose fans, thermistors, controls and cooling problems and give a written estimate before work begins. Sealed-system repairs need a refrigeration technician.
Possibly. Only units rated for outdoor use are built to handle high ambient heat and humidity. An indoor model outside may run nonstop and still not hold temperature. If yours is rated for outdoor use, the condenser may simply need cleaning or the fan may be failing, both of which we can check.
Light maintenance helps. Clean the front grille and condenser area every few months, check door gaskets for gaps, and keep the unit level so the door seals properly. If you hear new noises, see moisture inside the door, or notice the temperature swinging, it is better to have it checked before the wine is affected.
