My new Rheem compressor (it was installed in July so it's 5 months old) is covered in ice every day, It looks like a block of ice. I am in Sacramento and we have had temps into the 60's during the afternoon but my outdoor unit doesn't completely thaw. We did have a very cold spell a couple of weeks ago and my compressor is in a place where it doesn't get sun in the afternoon. Today it was warm and I saw solid ice covering the interior of the box and covering all the wires and tubes inside the metal frame, so I melted it off with my garden hose. The outside of the box did not have ice on it today but most mornings it does. It took a long time but it finally came off and I will check it tomorrow. Is there something wrong with it? Is this normal? If so, should I have to manually melt the ice? If so, how? I've never seen anything like this before.
