Thanks for the reply (I think). When I asked what part, I was talking
about the whole part.

Are you serious about the crack only being in the paint?

Maybe it has gone grey in its' old age!

Wondering what the replacement of that part would typically cost with
parts and labor?

Thanks.

About the same as replacing the entire condensing unit.

That's because Chris (AKA the world's biggest hack) doesn't know how to
