What would the symptoms of a flooded evaporator be on a direct expansion system?

A flooded evaporator in a direct expansion system typically presents symptoms such as reduced cooling efficiency, increased system pressures, and potential compressor flooding, which can lead to short cycling. You may also notice water leakage or increased humidity levels in the conditioned space due to inadequate heat absorption. Additionally, ice formation on the evaporator coils can occur due to low airflow and improper refrigerant flow.
