It is VERY difficult to clean either of these coils properly, and even doing
the 60-75% job I did was no joke.
To properly clean the condenser coil would require *complete* disassembly of
the unit..... COMPLETE.
Which proly would not be so bad the second time around, but the FIRST time
around appears to be one helluva learning curve.

I seemed to be able to do a so-so job by blowing the fins *tangentially*, so
as not to jam the dirt/dust further into the fin structure.
And blew out the clog in the top drip pan.


Go to McMaster and buy this:
