Altherma frost gaps in evaporator

Does anyone know if this is normal or should be investigated?

This morning 07:30, -1c OAT 86% RH, approx 1 hour since last defrost:

Yesterday, similar OAT and RH conditions, 40 minutes since last defrost:

And a thermal camera version of the image above at the same time:

Don’t worry, this is quite normal. It’s due to how the main coolant pipe loops around the unit in a non-contiguous pattern and one end is warmer than the other. My Mitsubishi looks much the same, and there are similar pictures of other Daikins here on the forum.

Ok, thanks. I did find another thread where some units looked much more evenly frosted whilst others looked like mine but if it’s normal, then I’m good with that.
