  If you're experiencing poor cooling and an increasing interior temperature in your Waeco Refrigerator, consider these potential causes and solutions: * The vaporizer might be iced over. If so, defrost it. * Ensure there is sufficient ventilation and air supply. If not, move the refrigerator to a location where there is better airflow. * A dirty condenser can also cause poor cooling. Clean the condenser. * If your refrigerator has a fan, check if it's defective and replace it if necessary. * Check if the battery capacity is exhausted and, if so, charge the battery.
