This had happen to be my difficulty. I had tried to direct the cold air into a 4" dia duct but the resulting restriction reduced the airflow though the evaporator causing it to freeze up.

The foam housing allowed me to quickly open everything up with a knife and whala it is now running like a charm.

The basement temp that this HPWH is in is about the same temp 60-65 Deg. F
