I'm sure Alistair would have done this correctly but would suggest to
others that when re installing the aluminum finned unit, make sure the
left hand end (as you look at it installed) is NOT seated over the lip
on the left hand end of the black "cold" tube. Also, there should be a
narrow ~ 2" long white bit that holds the flexible silver looking tube
into place (against it really) on the finned unit. That tube comes
from the thermostat and AFAIK its purpose is to "read" the temperature
at the finned unit.
