My son in Ohio hasn’t never cleaned his & the way it looks neither did the previous owners, but I’m going to clean his when we go there in July!

If you are referring to the outside condensing unit, the fins on the coil are the most important part. If they are dirty, you will lose a lot of heat transfer efficiency. Also, if they are bent, you can buy a "comb" to straighten them. But, cleaning out the dirt at the bottom of the unit will not help much at all.
