B737-700 first officer reported experiencing a malfunctioning electric elevator trim system.

Narrative:

While completing the before push checklist; the captain went to adjust the stabilizer trim to comply with the performance information. He was able to adjust the trim nose up with his control wheel switch; but the trim was set too far nose up. He then attempted to move the trim nose down and the control didn't work. We tried my control on the first officer side and found the same issue. The manual trim wheel was functional in both directions.maintenance was called and a series of test were run by the mechanic to regain use of the system. This included cycling the flaps and resetting circuit breakers. Normal function was regained. In the end; it is believed that the cold temperatures along with the fact the aircraft had been sprayed with type I deice fluid at the gate prior boarding may have contributed to the situation.
