Brandon Whitmore Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Does the frost pattern on this heat pumps condenser coil fins look a little strange? Click to Enlarge 4.19 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 That's pretty normal for a heat pump before defrost mode kicks in. Typically, if there's an air flow or refrigerant problem, the entire condenser frosts over. To protect myself, however, if I see frost on a condenser of a house I'm checking out, I peek back every 1/2 hour or so to make certain the condenser defrosted like it's supposed to.

Brandon Whitmore Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 John, I don't often see heat pumps frosted up in this area. The pattern just looked a little odd to me, so I figured why not ask? I appreciate the quick response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
