If the freon going into the radiator is abnormally hot but it's good

the system. I'm vague about air conditioning, but I believe there's a
thermostatic valve on the evaporator. If it malfunctioned, I imagine
that restriction could be severe enough to overheat your compressor.


Some have TXV and some have orifice (which for some
reason is called a piston). If there is a restriction,
the house won't cool well, but also there will be
much less heat coming into the compressor. I doubt
that's the problem.
