A/C not moving air; found burn mark near unit?

I live in an apartment in a hot climate. Every few weeks since January, my A/C will stop moving air and the temperature will rise to 78/80F. If I turn the A/C off and leave it off for a day, it will work normally again. Had the apartment maintenance guys come out and they said something about a fan freezing over and thawing and that's what's causing the issue, but that since it always resolves, there's nothing they can do.

Anyway today it happened again. Thermostat set to 72 but it's 80 inside and I can hear a machine hum but no airflow. I opened the little ceiling hatch that gives access to some part of the unit and a bunch of ice fell out, but also on inspection of the area I found a burn mark on the ceiling above what seems like an insulated pipe maybe. Now I'm not sure whether it's safe to even turn the A/C back on once the whatever that's frozen does unfreeze. Any thoughts on what I should do between now and when maintenance can come out (probably Friday/Monday)?

Intestine Still Life

Just acrylic on paper. Getting into acrylic lately after only ever doing watercolor and really liking how it builds.
