Which undesired outcome results when ice accumulates unevenly across evaporator coils?

💡 Explanation

Reduced cooling arises because ice buildup causes thermal insulation via the **frosting** mechanism, directly reducing system's ability to absorb heat, thus reducing efficiency. Therefore, the system works harder to cool the same amount; rather than efficient heat transfer with even frost, concentrated ice acts as an insulator.
