If A/C manufacturers arranged the fan on the condensing unit to run

It would blow SOME of the mung out of the coils thereby retaining a
bit of the otherwise lost efficiency.

Just sayin'...
One of these days I'll add a 1 or 2 second delay to the blower fan so
when it blows, it's cold. *And it won't give that blast of super humid
air either.
Uh, that was supposed to be a 1 or 2 MINUTE delay, not seconds.

The switch in my SUV is bad for air on low. It has 5 positions. When it's
hot out I turn it on low, the compressor starts but the fan doesn't blow.
Once I back out of the garage and let the motor warm up for a minute or
so I turn it to 5 and have instant cold air.

I'd hope that my low speed goes out but it only has 3 speeds and I use
low often. *Guess if I really wanted to I could splice a switch in the
circuit.

Anyway I just realized this was about the condenser and I'm talking
about the evaporator. *My condenser coil seems to stay clean, but I am
cutting the grass.- Hide quoted text -

I have some shrubs in the area around the condensor, they filter out
most of the grass clippings. I also turn the AC off when cutting
around the condensor. Butt you need a way to reverse the air flow
thru the condensor, and just a leaf blower, etc, is still blowing from
the outside into the condensor radiator, and that doesn't really clear
things out like a reversal of air flow would do.
