The type readings, priced apart by frame
| Cooling type | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Thermoelectric, freestanding | $60-$100 diagnosis row | $30-$50 thermal plate part |
| Thermoelectric, service visit | $350 plus parts service line | $10-$25 cooling fan unit |
| Compressor, freestanding or undercounter | $430-$450 replacement, labor included | $100-$600 compressor part |
| Compressor, premium built-in | $1,900-$2,500 sealed-system ceiling line | in part rows |
Each reading is one frame counting of one cooling type in one visit, never blended across types or frames.
The thermoelectric rows, priced apart
| Thermoelectric row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnosis | $60-$100 | in band rows |
| Thermal plate | in service rows | $30-$50 part |
| Temperature switching board | in service rows | $30-$50 part |
| Cooling fan unit | in service rows | $10-$25 part |
| Professional service | $350 plus parts | in labor rows |
Thermoelectric rows count a unit with no compressor: plate, board, and fan rows stand in Frame B, visit lines in Frame A.
The compressor rows, priced apart
| Compressor row, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor replacement, labor included | Frame A | $430-$450 |
| Compressor part | Frame B | $100-$600 |
| Premium built-in sealed-system repair | Frame A | $1,900-$2,500 |
| Control board part | Frame B | $60-$250 |
| Total repair band | Frame B | $50-$500 |
Compressor rows count a refrigerant unit, built-in apart from freestanding inside each frame, the premium line a ceiling line only. The frames count the same compressor job differently -- a provider inclusive ticket at $430-$450 in Frame A against a parts record part row at $100-$600 plus technician labor at a $100-per-hour minimum in Frame B. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page here, never averaged.
The totals behind the rows, and the neighbours named apart
Behind the rows: Frame A diagnosis at $60-$100, Frame B total band at $50-$500. Part readings price apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the full-size refrigerator repair ticket, a full-size appliance field; the wine-fridge resale read, a resale field and never a repair price; cellar cooling-unit installation and equipment rows, a room-scale install field; and beverage-cooler purchase rows, a purchase and never a repair visit.
