Ice builds up on these pads in the right conditions, and will melt off when the pad is not running. When the fan on the back does not work properly, like being dusty, pet hair.... or it has failed, the peltier assembly gets very hot and heats up the inside part of the assembly and melts whatever frost maybe on the unit.

Long story short, I would check the fan on the back. I have 2 Whynter CHC-251S units and I check and clean the fans every month. I m an IT consultant and it is part of my routine when I clean my workstations and servers
damn ok...I never even thought of that. I will check it tonight. Thanks!
