Actually, when using a freestanding wine cooler the heat designed
to escape from the back and I your case the heat won't have a place to escape
to and eventually will over heat the whole unit. Then the compressor will
attempt to compensate for the heating and may eventually burn itself out.
SOURCE: Can I install a freestanding wine cooler under my existing cabinet?
I strongly suggest you find somewhere else for it. Freestanding wine coolers are designed to disperse heat from the back. If you put the cooler under a cabinet, the heat cannot escape and will in time overheat the unit.
Aside from temperature, humidity is a major concern. The low humidity levels can cause the cork to dry/shrink allowing room for both air and other food odors to enter the bottle and tamper with the quality of the wine inside. Wine coolers offer an optimal humidity level of 50-80% needed to keep your wine in good condition.
Yes there is. You should allow sufficient space around the unit
(2-4 inches on each side of the cooler) allowing the heat produces during the
operation to properly dissipate.
A build-in wine cooler is designed to be built into exiting
counter and cabinetry. Build in wine cooler includes a front ventilation system
which channels the heat forward from the unit, just like any other wine cooler.
