I tried to do some research on how refrigerators work , but could not find the answer to another question that I have : I notice that the sides of the 'frig get very warm when the 'frig is running.
Is it really necessary to have the lines that carry the refrigerant so close to the 'frig ? Could they be moved away from the 'frig, so as not to heat up the 'frig ?

One more question : There is a copper coiled line running from the compressor into a drain container. ( There is a drain tube that also runs into this container ) It almost appears as if the coiled tubing is meant to be immersed in the water of the drain container.( which at the current time is dry )
What do you make of that ?

Pictures to follow ...later.
