I took water in my basement and it seems it got high enough to cause my CHEFMATE mini fridge to stop working. is there anything I can do to repair it?

I cannot find any info on this unit.

Also you did not say what if anything it is doing.

First check the power to the unit.
I am assuming that the unit got wet and was plugged in so odds are high that it is toast.
If the unit has a start relay/overload on the compressor remove it perhaps it has water in it.
You could unplug it and try to dry it out.
A hair dryer works well here heat the compressor up then let it cool down then do this again several times.

Check the compressor and start relay see the following link.
