## Field notes

Written after the call, not before it: the symptom, the measurements and what the fix actually was.

- **Warm Fridge, Cold Freezer** — One compartment warm and the other cold is a distribution fault, not a cooling fault. The distinction decides whether the repair costs tens or thousands. (https://thermadorrepairstaugustine.com/notes/warm-fridge-airflow-or-sealed-system/)
- **Built-Ins in a 1920s Kitchen** — In the historic core, half of what reads as an appliance fault is the opening it was fitted into or the circuit it shares. Both are measurable in minutes. (https://thermadorrepairstaugustine.com/notes/historic-kitchen-retrofits/)
- **Storm Season and Control Boards** — Control boards in this county usually die of cumulative surge damage, not of one strike. That changes both the diagnosis and what is worth doing about it. (https://thermadorrepairstaugustine.com/notes/storm-season-and-control-boards/)
- **What Salt Air Does to a Condenser** — On the coast the fins do not clog with dust, they corrode. The compressor answers by running longer, and the fresh food side drifts warm in August. (https://thermadorrepairstaugustine.com/notes/salt-air-and-condensers/)
- **Why We Ask for the Serial Number** — On built-in appliances the serial number, not the model, decides which board, valve or hinge fits. Here is why, and what that means for lead times and cost. (https://thermadorrepairstaugustine.com/notes/serial-numbers-and-parts/)
