What Hancock Park does
to a refrigerator.

Its houses are large period-revival homes on a regular grid, and the area is a designated Historic Preservation Overlay Zone.

That overlay means exterior alterations are reviewed, so work tends to stay inside the existing envelope.

Houses of this era were built with service wings and back kitchens, and those rear rooms are what later remodels have reworked.

Older housing stock

Older wiring is rarely undersized for a refrigerator's compressor start-up draw on its own, but it is more likely to share a circuit with other loads or run through a breaker or start relay nearing the end of its service life — either of which turns a normal start-up surge into a tripped breaker that looks like an appliance problem.

Specified kitchens

A kitchen designed as a whole means panel-ready refrigeration matched to the cabinetry. Replacing the appliance means replacing or refitting the panel, so the arithmetic favors repair far up the cost curve — and any door work ends with the panel refitted level against its neighbors.

Mixed housing

A block that mixes decades of construction also mixes ventilation standards: a unit installed under an older code can vent adequately by the rule of its day and still run marginally by current appliance clearances, which shows up as nuisance overheating that a newer install two doors down never sees.
