Might make it easier for us to understand if you quit using trade
terms (probably incorrectly). Just tell us what's the unit doing,
and what part you're talking about.

"The small tube with the bare copper has frost on it, but the fat
tube with the rubber insulation is warm to the touch" is far more
useful than trying to use trade terms. Especially when it sounds
like you know a few words, but not what they mean.
