Local conditions that matter here

The Peninsula holds the densest concentration of Eichlers anywhere — more than 2,700 in Palo Alto, and roughly 650 in the San Mateo Highlands. Radiant heat is cast into the slab, there is no crawlspace and no attic, and the kitchen is usually a post-and-beam bay with glass to the floor. Where a unit sits against that glass, solar gain on a west elevation does work a catalogue figure never accounted for.

Why These Failures Happen

1
Sealed refrigeration systems — often dual-compressor, designed to run continuously rather than cycling on and off like a standard fridge
2
Cabinet-depth airflow constraints — condenser coils need specific clearance, and dust buildup shows up as symptoms faster than in a standard-depth unit
3
Panel-ready door hardware — custom cabinet panels add weight, which means hinges and door alignment need brand-specific adjustment tools
