Set the chiller lower and see if that makes a difference.

Can you check to see if it's pushing our cold water. If not, then it might need a recharge. If it is, then is underpowered. A 1/10 hp should be plenty to cool your tank. I would guess its simply not working.

Took it to an a/c guy at my work, no way to repair. He said just buy another.
