You can hit the radiator fins, but just be careful. Keep the pressure washer tip wide. I hope I'm making sense. You want to clean those fins out, that's what could be clogged with dirt, especially if drive alot of dirt/gravel roads.

Well I live down a short half gravel half dirt road off the main north side highway. Lol. So yeah I drive slowly on dirt roads. Yeah I have wide angle tips for the pressure washer. There was some nasty crap coming out underneath.... I had no idea.

If that does not work, they sell a coil cleaner (at Lowes) that is for ac coils. You spray it on and it bubbles. When it bubbles, it loosens dirt and pushes it out. Once done, rinse with garden hose.

Might have to look for that next time I’m off the mountain and have a lowes close by! Thanks for the tip!

No problem! Hopefully your issue is fixed though!

Away!
The evaporator coil is running through all those fins. They increase the surface area for it to efficiently export heat. If they are dirty, dusty, clogged up, etc, that debris acts as an insulator and inhibits the heat transfer from the cool to the air. Keep em clean , boys. While you're at it, clean them out on the a/c condenser on your house, too.
