Default New condenser, old evaporator

yes, the evaporator does need to be clean, otherwise the refrigerant
won't vaporize, but it is clean. i took it out and checked it myself.

the fan not running would make the a/c far less efficient and would
put another mark against the compressor overheating, but it would make
it even less likely that the compressor is receiving a liquid from the
evaporator. as soon as the freon passed the expansion valve, it would
be hot, and start to boil.

if the evaporator could not do its job in vaporizing the refrigerant,
wouldn't it freeze up?
