San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area

Appliance maintenance in Marina.

Marina apartments on filled ground beside the bay sit in salt fog much of the year, which pits hinge pins and condenser fins on refrigerators and wine units, so coils there are brushed and hinges wiped and lubricated where the maker allows it.

What Marina does
to a home appliance.

The Marina District sits on the former fairgrounds of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and most of its residential buildings were constructed in the 1920s once the fair's structures were cleared.

Much of the neighborhood is built on fill placed after the 1906 earthquake, using earthquake rubble along with sand and mud dredged from the bay, rather than on natural ground.

That fill proved vulnerable to soil liquefaction in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which caused serious damage and a fire in parts of the neighborhood.

The Palace of Fine Arts is the only exposition-era building still standing on its original site, surrounded today by the 1920s residential blocks that replaced the rest of the fairground.

Also known as Marina District.

Apartments and small homes

In a small kitchen the refrigerator often stands with its back to a wall and its sides boxed in by cabinets, and a maintenance visit there measures the air gap the maker calls for and clears whatever has crept into it before cleaning the coil.

On the water

Salt carried on sea breezes lands on everything with a fan, and the fins of condenser coils, the hinges of refrigerator doors and the outside flap of a dryer exhaust pit faster near the water, so upkeep there adds a corrosion check to every cleaning.

Tower living

Tower apartments run their appliances in rooms that never open to the weather, so the air conditioning does what the windows cannot, and a refrigerator or wine unit breathing that cooled but dusty air still needs its condenser coil brushed once or twice a year.

When a home appliance
cannot wait in Marina.

In Marina as anywhere, these five signs mean upkeep has waited too long and a hazard has started in the home, so the appliance stays off until it is looked at: a hot or burning-lint smell from the laundry, a gas smell at a cooking appliance, a supply hose leaking or bulging, a burning electrical smell, and a breaker that trips when the appliance runs.

All 17 problems
A quiet home laundry room with a front-loading vented machine standing still, its door closed and its display dark, a faint thin haze of pale smoke hanging near the round metal exhaust collar on the wall behind it, a crushed silver foil duct visible at the back, the power cord unplugged and lying on the floor, seen from the doorway. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Hot or Burning Lint Smell in the Laundry Room: Stop the Cycle

6 causes, cheapest first

 An empty home kitchen at dusk with a stainless gas cooktop and a wall oven, every burner dark and every knob at off, the kitchen window and the back door both standing open to the evening, a yellow-handled gas shutoff valve visible low in an open cabinet beside the cooktop, seen from the hallway. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Gas Smell Near the Oven or Burners: Get Out, Then Call

6 causes, cheapest first

 Low view behind a front-loading washer pulled slightly away from the wall in a home laundry room, a black rubber fill hose with a visible swollen bulge near its fitting and a thin stream of water spraying from it onto a tile floor, a spreading puddle, the hot and cold wall valves above. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Supply Hose Leaking or Bulging Behind an Appliance: Shut the Water Off

6 causes, cheapest first

 Close view of a white wall outlet low behind a stainless kitchen appliance, a plug half-seated in it with a faint brown scorch mark on the outlet face and a thin wisp of gray smoke rising, the dim kitchen beyond out of focus. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Burning Electrical Smell From an Appliance: Breaker Off First

6 causes, cheapest first

 An open gray electrical panel door on a garage wall, one breaker in the row sitting in the tripped middle position, a white upright freezer standing dark and silent on the concrete floor nearby, soft daylight from a side window. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk
