I said it’s not frosty.

It’s not frosty or too cold to touch... And when the system is off it returns to ambient fairly quickly. But it’s still cold to the touch. Like a soda out of the refrigerator.

The installer placed an accumulator at the bottom of...

Pic of drawing?

Can anyone shed some light?
