5.2 Check Condenser Coil
The condenser coil is located with the compressor, either nose-mounted or skirt-mounted. The
condenser coil is like a radiator, using airflow to cool the hot refrigerant. It is a good idea to
routinely check if airflow is restricted by unusual debris like leaves, wrappers, bags, etc.
CAUTION: Exposed coil fins can cause painful lacerations. Use caution when working near the
condenser coil.
