There is a capillary tube in the top of the case and that is what controls the cold temp.  If you are running the AC setting at max cold it will freeze up.  If your cowl/firewall is not insulated the unit will sweat just like a cold can of soda would sitting in the cupholder. 
 
Someone mentioned it before, don't dial back the fan speed, dial back the thermostat a touch.  Stuff a thermometer in the dash vent and run the AC.  Set the AC thermostat so that it runs about 38-40 degrees and it should not freeze up.
