  If your Phcbi Refrigerator isn't getting cold enough, several factors could be the cause. First, avoid putting a large amount of items or warm products into the unit. Ensure that the air exhaust vent isn't blocked. Relocate the unit away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and also ensure that the ambient temperature is not too high. Minimize how often you open the door and always make sure it is securely closed. Remove any heat sources from inside the unit. Finally, inspect the door seal for damage or obstructions and replace it if needed.

  If the alarm is activated on your Phcbi Refrigerator, it could be due to several reasons. If the temperature in the unit does not match the set value, run the unit for several hours. Make sure the door is closed securely, as leaving it open for too long can trigger the alarm. Check the temperature setting and adjust it if it was changed. Finally, remove any warm items recently placed inside and allow the unit to stabilize.
