Showerthought: Rushing through a condenser coil cleaning job backfired badly.

Now I always take the extra time to do it right.

Seeing that part about rushing a coil clean job backfiring, my friend learned the hard way too. He once just sprayed a coil quick and called it done, leaving matted leaves and grime inside. Two days later, the system froze up solid on a hot day. The repair bill was huge because the pressure switch failed. He never skips the brush and cleaner now. It turned one hour of lazy work into a full afternoon of pain.

Was there a story in a trade blog about a rushed coil clean causing a short circuit? I recall reading about a tech who skipped drying the electrical connections after spraying. Moisture got into the contactor and fried it within a week. The service call ended up being a full board replacement, which is not cheap.
