Check the settings
Make sure the thermostat is set to cool and the desired temperature is below room temperature. Avoid opening electrical panels or repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker.
Look at airflow
Inspect a readily accessible filter and follow manufacturer replacement guidance. Keep supply and return grilles unobstructed.
When to stop
If you see ice, hear a new electrical noise, or smell burning, stop using the system and seek professional help. Do not chip ice off a coil or handle refrigerant.
Useful references
