What Greater Heights does
to a refrigerator.

Its older houses are Victorian and bungalow cottages on pier-and-beam foundations, many of them inside city historic districts.

They were built with small rear kitchens, and later additions have generally been hung off the back of the original block.

Lots are narrow, and many streets still drain to open ditches rather than to curbs and gutters.

Older housing stock

An older building rarely has a cabinet opening that matches a current appliance, so what is installed is what fitted: narrow, shallow, sometimes a generation old and still working. Parts availability and access, not age, are what decide whether a repair goes ahead.

Small kitchens

Where the kitchen was laid out before anyone imagined a 36-inch appliance, the refrigerator is counter-depth, undercounter or a narrow column — and once it is in, there is no air behind it. Front-vented installations in tight cabinet runs are the normal condition, so a unit running constantly is far more often a ventilation problem than a failing compressor.

Mixed housing

Neighboring kitchens can be thirty years apart, and so can the answer. Whether a repair is worth doing is decided by what kind of refrigerator it is far more reliably than by how old it is.
