Close to the ocean, salt in the air settles on a refrigerator's condenser coil and fan motor and slowly eats at them. In Ocean Beach that wear shows up sooner than it would inland, so coils and fans are among the first parts we check.
Older cottages and duplexes often have compact kitchens and laundry tucked into a garage or side yard, so tell us where the appliance sits.

Top-freezer, French door, side-by-side and built-in: where each one tends to fail
Top-freezer models are the simplest. One evaporator in the freezer feeds cold air down to the fresh-food side through a damper, so a fridge that is warm while the freezer is fine often has a stuck damper or an iced-over air passage rather than a dying compressor.
Bottom-freezer and French door models put the freezer in a drawer and the fresh-food section on top. Many route cold air up a long duct in the back wall, and that duct can freeze shut when the defrost cycle fails. French doors add a center mullion flap that must flip into place to seal the two doors; when it sticks, the fridge sweats along the center and runs long. Door-mounted ice makers on these models are a frequent leak and frost source.
Side-by-side refrigerators have a narrow freezer that runs the full height of the cabinet, with ice and water in the door. The tall, narrow evaporator ices up readily, and the dispenser adds a water valve, a door water line and a fill tube, all of which can fail on their own.
Built-in and panel-ready refrigerators often use two separate evaporators, one for each compartment, sometimes with two compressors. That design holds humidity better in the fresh-food side, but it doubles the fans, sensors and defrost parts that can fail. The condenser usually sits on top behind a grille, where it collects kitchen grease and dust out of sight.
