Which outcome of overheating in a hermetically sealed HVAC refrigerant compressor due to blocked condenser coils?

A)Refrigerant decomposition forming corrosive acids
B)Increased motor torque causing mechanical failure
C)Ice formation on the evaporator coils
D)Reduced power consumption by the compressor motor

💡 Explanation

When condenser coils are blocked, heat rejection is impaired, causing elevated compressor temperatures because the refrigerant cannot efficiently release heat leading to breakdown of refrigerant molecules. Therefore refrigerant breakdown into corrosive acids results, rather than increased torque, icing, or power reduction, which require different underlying conditions.
