Why Schenectady conditions cause this failure
New York winters are hard on anything plumbed to an outside wall, and ice maker lines are the usual casualty. Upstate snow load and cold mean long heating seasons and very dry indoor air, while downstate the issue is age: pre-war buildings run older wiring that struggles with a modern appliance load.
Schenectady housing is old and compact, with basement laundry and original narrow doorways. For refrigerator repair specifically, that combination matters because access and ambient conditions change how hard the appliance has to work and how fast the wearing parts give out. A technician who knows the local pattern checks the likely cause first rather than working through a generic list, which is part of why Schenectady jobs tend to close on the first visit.
