Which outcome occurs when a refrigerator's evaporator coil ices over?

💡 Explanation

Icing causes reduced cooling because the phase transition of the refrigerant, specifically evaporation, is impaired. The latent heat transfer decreases due to the thermal resistance of the ice. Therefore, the compressor works harder, overheating rather than cooling efficiently.
