Which risk increases most rapidly when a residential heat pump's refrigerant charge drops below specified levels during peak summer?

💡 Explanation

Compressor overheating risk rises most rapidly because reduced refrigerant means less effective heat transfer out of the compressor, causing increased motor winding temperatures which risks thermal cut-out; therefore overheating leads to failure, rather than icing or changes in expansion valve or fan.
