Some malfunction on the control of defrosting. Or maybe it's powered by Peltier elements.

    Thermoelectric was my first thought, since it can heat or cool, to maintain a set point, warm food, or chill beverages, as implemented in some fancy lunch boxes. I didn't know if the same applies at this scale, but I'm assuming this unit uses a compressor.

    Something of this size should absolutely use a compressor.

    But there's a difference between "should" and "does", and the fact that failed into heating changes that expectation a lot.
