    Mine has Toshiba guts. I don’t know what I paid for it - now it appears to be selling for $1100. Mine defrosts but its defrost cycle just turns on AC for a bit instead of heat. Edit: Mitsubishi guts.

      I reckon that’s your main issue.
      You’d need a model designed for a colder climate.

      Maybe for your next one!
