Which risk increases most when a refrigeration cycle using freon develops a leak?

A)Compressor burnout due to refrigerant loss
B)Increase in cooling coefficient of performance
C)Icing problems increasing internal convection
D)System pressure balances before full vacuum

💡 Explanation

Reduced refrigerant results in inadequate lubrication because the compressor relies on the refrigerant for oil return. Subsequently, this causes frictional overheating within the bearings, therefore increases the risk of compressor burnout, rather than improved cooling or icing problems which occur under different conditions.
