A new cooling unit should do better than that. Check a few things:
- Level. Absorption units are very sensitive to it. - The gap between the cooling unit and the back wall. If it's more than about 1", hot air bypasses the fins. A baffle helps a lot. - That the unit was sealed to the box with thermal mastic, and that the insulation went back in tight. - The thermistor position and temperature setting.
If those are all good, talk to whoever installed it, since the new unit should be under warranty.
