    the first thing you have to determine is, is the compressor motor running, if so the narrower of the two pipes coming from the compressor should be hot , if not you can have a blockage in the system ,a worn comp. or at worst a gas leak. assuming its trying to freeze the problem should be in the freezing coils (evaporator) where it is most likely clogged up with ice mainly due to faulty defrosting elements. just make sure the cooling fan down at the compressor and the circulating fan are also running when plugged in. try defrosting the unit and run it again sometimes they become clogged up because a door may be left partially open , if its a faulty defrost element it will run ok for a few weeks until they clog up again
