Which outcome occurs in a refrigeration cycle when the condenser fan fails?

A)Compressor overheating from high pressure
B)Evaporator icing due to rapid cooling
C)Capillary restriction causes high vacuum
D)Refrigerant leakage from suction line

💡 Explanation

When the condenser fan fails, heat rejection decreases, causing the high-side pressure to rise because compressed refrigerant cannot efficiently release its heat to the ambient air. Therefore , compressor overheating occurs, rather than evaporator icing, capillary restriction or refrigerant leakage, which require different operational faults within the refrigeration cycle.
