## Notes from the van

Faults we keep seeing on this coast, written up plainly.

- August 4, 2026 [Why condenser coils clog faster three blocks from the ocean](https://thermadorrepairjacksonvillebeach.com/notes/salt-air-and-condenser-coils/) A condenser that cannot reject heat behaves exactly like a failing compressor. Near the ocean it gets there years earlier, and the fix is usually a brush and a vacuum rather than a sealed-system repair.
- July 21, 2026 [Hollow cubes are a fill problem, not an ice maker problem](https://thermadorrepairjacksonvillebeach.com/notes/hollow-ice-cubes-and-short-fills/) Replacing an ice maker that produces hollow or half-formed cubes usually buys you a few weeks. The restriction is upstream, in a supply that is delivering less water than the control thinks it is.
- July 7, 2026 [A hood that has started to rumble is telling you something](https://thermadorrepairjacksonvillebeach.com/notes/hood-blower-noise-is-a-warning/) Ventilation is the first appliance the beach takes apart. The noise stage is cheap to fix and the seizure stage is not, and there is usually a season or two between them.
- June 16, 2026 [What roughly 68 thunderstorm days a year does to electronics](https://thermadorrepairjacksonvillebeach.com/notes/storm-season-and-control-boards/) Jacksonville averages about 68 thunderstorm days a year. Appliance electronics rarely fail from a direct strike — they fail from the accumulation of smaller events, and the symptoms are recognisable.
- May 26, 2026 [What goes wrong when a modern built-in meets a 1950s kitchen](https://thermadorrepairjacksonvillebeach.com/notes/built-ins-in-an-older-beach-cottage/) Half the faults we diagnose in the older blocks are not faults at all — they are installation compromises made during a renovation, and the appliance is only reporting them.
