Well, the frost build-up issue is a huge problem for people who want to do the Turn-The-Air-Conditioner-Around-Backwards thing, and also for any body who wants to hack an ASHP for heating.

It looks like you have discovered a $3 fix for it.

If your device fix really works, you need to un-bury that $3 fix, and give it it's own correctly titled thread, explaining it, with pictures, part numbers and links.

This problem has already spawned an ocean of wasted ASCII on EcoRenovator (just do a search on "frost build up" if you doubt me).

If you really have a $3 fix, make it public.
