Cambridge kitchens run small and dense — undercounter refrigeration, integrated dishwashers and compact columns rather than full 48-inch built-ins. Ventilation clearance is the recurring problem.
The wider area
Inner-ring kitchens are the tightest we work in. Brownstone and triple-decker conversions put built-in refrigeration into cavities that were never sized for it, and the single most common underlying cause of a warm unit here is a condenser with nowhere to reject its heat.

Running warm and the display insisted everything was normal. He put a thermometer inside, showed me the gap between the two numbers, and traced it to a control fault throttling the compressor. Straightforward once someone stopped trusting the panel.

Warm at the top of the cabinet, cold at the bottom. Turned out the condenser had drawn in a decade of dust from the cooktop a few feet away. Cleaned properly and the airflow came back. He suggested a rough interval for doing it again.

Cooling fan kept running for an hour after every cycle. Not broken exactly, but not right either. He traced it to a thermostat telling the fan the cavity was still hot. Small fix, and he treated it as worth doing properly.
