Are your technicians specifically trained on Dacor Built-in refrigerators?

We service Dacor units regularly and maintain knowledge of model-specific repair paths. We don't treat Dacor repairs as generic appliance calls.
My Dacor built-in refrigerator stopped cooling. Is this more complex to repair than a standard unit?
