It makes sense, but I wondered if there was some other aspect I am missing

I went out to look around, the fan does seem to work. Ice, I dont know, but it should be able to defrost itself, according to the manual. Its only 6 months old.

The part that confuses me is that I could swear that its making the inside far warmer than the temperature I set it to, when the wind is blowing. We don't turn it above 62, But there have been nights I am kicking off the blankets and sometimes even the sheets.
