Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Inspect wine chiller and run full diagnostic of temperature control, compressor, fan and thermostat

• test door seals, shelving and drainage for airflow or condensation issues

• check electrical supply, fuse and thermostat wiring, isolating mains before working

• inspect refrigerant circuit and compressor for leaks or signs of failure (F‑gas work only by certified engineer)

• replace common parts such as thermostat, fan motor, door seal or control board where necessary and advise on compressor replacement options

• perform final temperature calibration and run test cycle to confirm performance

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most diagnostics and minor repairs take 1–2 hours; replacing a compressor or performing refrigerant work can take 3–6 hours or longer and may require return visits if parts are not available

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• are you F-gas certified and insured to work on refrigerant systems

• do you include a diagnostic fee and is it deducted from the repair cost

• what warranty do you offer on parts and labour

• how long to source parts if needed and will you need to return for fitting

• will you recover and dispose of refrigerant and provide a disposal note

• do you provide a post-repair temperature verification and user guidance

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear bottles and contents from the chiller and immediate area

• ensure easy access to the mains socket and sufficient working space around the unit

• confirm parking or delivery access and any building management rules for communal areas

• advise engineer of the chiller model, age and symptoms before the visit so parts can be checked in advance

• secure pets and make any keys or entry codes available to avoid delays
