Which outcome occurs inside a refrigerator's capillary tube if it develops a partial restriction to refrigerant flow?

💡 Explanation

When the capillary tube is restricted, the expansion process is inhibited because less refrigerant reaches the evaporator, limiting its ability to absorb heat. Therefore, reduced evaporator capacity results, rather than altered superheat/subcooling or evaporator pressure issues which manifest under different conditions.
