An issue called “high superheat” can be caused by not enough refrigerant in the system, a kink or restriction in the refrigerant line, a malfunctioning metering component or a hot-liquid line too close to the compressor, such as a hot-water pipe. If the compressor is short-cycling, this also can cause overheating.
