Locating my A/C "A" coil
So I fixed a short in the low voltage line running out to the condenser a couple weeks ago with some help on here.AC worked well for the good number of days we were at 85-90 but noticed a couple days ago the air from the vents wasn't very cold. I'm past due to do a cleaning of the condenser and A coil. The only obvious place I see for it is the bottom of the furnace behind a makeshift "panel" which more resembles a couple plates of sheet metal held on with HVAC tape. It looks like there are lines coming up through the floor from the condenser so I think that's where it is but want to be sure before I pull all that tape off. TYIA!

Try removing all the tape first. It won't be easy as that foil tape sticks good.
Have a roll on hand to reseal the hatch.
It may not be easy to see the dirty side of the coil.
The coil doesn't just come out.

Hi, I would stay away from a fin comb, there should be know need for it especially on the A coil.
