Dalco split fault

[Aardvark]

Hi guys, I have a 24000BTU Split that when i put the gauges on and run the unit both sides drop in pressure and the unit eventually cuts out on thermal overload. It's been one of them days today with lots of strange faults so help is most appreciated :D

could do with a bit more info !

There's not a lot more to give you mate, the unit is 3 years old, serviced regulary and has always run without issue until yesterday. I tend to think there is a blockage in the condenser unit as when run in cooling mode the pressure drops on both sides, it the compressor cutting out fairly quickly on thermal that's making me wonder if it's a comp issue rather than blockage

What's the amperage, might be overload or it could be lack of cooling apart from being broke.
