How do you diagnose it?
Measure water flow rate and delta-T; Check condenser approach temperature; Verify charge by weight; Inspect strainers and valve positions. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
