You're talking about the old Lennox that used its liquid lineset as a cap
tube. That was for straight air only. Its not got that.
CY: yes, thanks for the reminder. Couldn't remember wh ich brand did that.

Maybe I'm lazy but I don't routinely clean the condenser unless I suspect
it as a possible problem. There's nothing in my readings that suggest a
dirty condenser as the problem.
CY: I like to use my IR thermometer, and check the temp of the liquid line
coming from the bottom of the condensor. If it's more than a couple degrees
over ambient, I know the condensor isn't releasing the BTU properly.

And what do you set your emissivity to for old copper vs. new copper?
You CAN'T tell a couple of critical degrees one way or another with
an Infrared Thermometer with fixed emissivity!
Why are you using the wrong tools?
We all know...You believe you're smarter then anybody here,
and you'll bullshit your transparent, condescending self here, under
the veil of "politeness", which makes you the most dangerous
con-man of all.
In retrospect, text books will just make you more dangerous to all.
I now vote for the aforementioned rock/head/smash solution.

Don't waste a nice new rock like that.
Make sure to use an old one.
