Berkeley's microclimate—marked by morning fog, afternoon heat from inland winds, and temperature swings—stresses refrigeration systems. Common issues include compressor overwork during heat spikes, condensation and door seal degradation from humidity shifts, evaporator coil icing due to airflow problems, and refrigerant leaks exacerbated by constant cycling. Regular maintenance prevents most of these climate-driven failures.
