Why your Magic Chef wine cooler is thermostat issue

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: confirm the temperature setting itself, and give the unit 24 hours after any adjustment before assuming it's broken. Also, compare the reading against a separate thermometer placed in the same spot for an hour. When that isn't the fix, a sensor that's confirmed inaccurate has to be replaced and recalibrated against the control board — guessing which part is at fault wastes a parts order.
