Do they keep doing it or is this a first time thing?

Ours did that once last summer during a hot spell. We thawed them out and melted all the ice away and it hasn't done it since. Unless it keeps doing it over and over I wouldn't worry about it.

Take the temp. from the register and subtract it from the temp. at the return should have 16 to 20 degrees difference if working properly. (temp split) If unit is overcharged it most likley wouldnt be freezing up however it could slug your compresser and burn it up. If evaporator coil, condenser coil and filters are clean and the blower inside is running its low on freon. Also make sure all your vents are open and you have good airflow.
