During colder months, it's typical that frost, and sometimes ice, builds up on the outdoor cabinet housing a heat pump's condenser coil, compressor and fan. Normally, the heat pump's defrost cycle melts the accumulated frost or ice, but severe ice buildup may indicate a problem with the unit
The condenser coil, sometimes coils depending on the model, rests outside of the refrigerator compartment. Refrigerant, in a gas form and very warm, travels to the condenser coil where it cools and condenses into a liquid form as it moves through each pass of the coil. Once in a liquid state, the refrigerant is stored in a reservoir until needed for the refrigeration cycle to begin again.
Depends on the manufacturer and which coil (the evaporator or the condenser).
Calculate condenser and coils
The rating is technically a minimum. You could use a larger coil and have it work. But if its a Evaporator coil it will need to be matched on the far end with a similar or larger condenser coil. If the Condenser coil is larger it will probably just take a little more refrigerant.
Water? You have residue buildup on the condenser coil. There's a spray to alleviate that.

Condenser coil
There are 2 coils. 1 inside the indoor air handler or furnace and 1 outside on your condenser in the yard.

ac condenser means "Air Cooled Condenser". The cooling media is Air. The fluid or anything which is being circulated through (inside) the coils /tube being cooled by the exposed or forced air - which impinges over the outside of the coil / tubes. B.Kannan balakannan@live.com
This motor has no distributor. It has a coil pack for each spark plug. There is no condenser.

A common problem with this is the result of mold buildup on the condenser coil for the AC system. Another related problem could be a clogged drain tube coming from the HVAC compartment.
Check the coil, rotor, condenser, distributor cap, and coil wire.
