Which outcome arises when a refrigeration cycle's expansion valve malfunctions, causing excessive refrigerant flow?

💡 Explanation

When the expansion valve malfunctions causing excessive refrigerant flow, the compressor has to work harder to compress the greater volume of refrigerant, leading to increased power consumption and potential overheating because of increased friction. Therefore, compressor overheating results, rather than icing, subcooling, or blockage, which require different flow restrictions.
