Product review (5 stars): Repaired the wine fridge
Purchased the TEC1-12705 and cream (purchased separately) via Amazon.

One zone of a two zone wine cooler stopped working.  This chip is mounted to a big heat sink in back of the unit.  Used the part number printed on the IC find a replacement part on amazon, along with the thermal cream.

Part arrived quickly, the generic instructions were easy to understand, and the actual repair was pretty simple. It is a bit of a messy job between cleaning off the old cream and applying the new, but not very difficult.  It requires care in obtaining a thin even application of the cream with no air pockets for optimal heat transfer.

Wine fridge has been working well for several months now.  Glad I decided to attempt the repair. Turned out to be an interesting little project.
