Have Monolith humidor - Input Requested

I've tried lower temp during the month or so of testing I did when I first got the unit, but lowering the temp introduced an odd problem that I still don't understand.

When the temp was not set at 72F (the max) on at least three occasions (over the 4 weeks of testing) I'd come home and the temp would be 45-50F and the humidity would be reading 45% on the front panel. The temp had "reset" itself on its own down to a new set point like 45F. If I did nothing it would continue to hold that 45F temp. The humidity was still at the same set point but the humidifier didn't seem able to keep up with the constant cooling. This huge drop in temp and humidity didn't seem good.

Now this was before I had cigars in it so it wasn't a big deal. But it made me wary of messing with the temp so I have just left it at 72F which for some reason the unit seems able to hold steady. Long story short, it doesn't seem worth the hassle.
