Why is the cooling poor in my Phcbi Freezer?

  Luis AndersonAug 9, 2025
  Poor cooling in your Phcbi Freezer can stem from several factors. The environmental temperature might be too high, so try to lower it. Ensure the door is shut tightly and the inner lid is correctly installed. Verify the set temperature is appropriate and that the grille isn't blocked. A clogged filter could also be the culprit, so clean or replace it. Direct sunlight or nearby heating sources can also affect cooling performance, so relocate the freezer or move the heat sources. Also, make sure the rubber cap and insulation for the access port are correctly set. Finally, reducing the number of unfrozen items in the freezer compartment can help.
