What's wrong with 空调制冷得不太好 meaning "The air conditioner cools poorly"? I thought


  空调制冷得不太好


would be perfectly fine, using the grammar structure


  Subj. + Verb + 得 + Complement
  Chinese Grammar Wiki


But there's no hits on Baidu for "制冷得不太好" which is a strong indicator that something is wrong.  I don't know what though.

Question: What's wrong with 空调制冷得不太好 meaning "The air conditioner cools poorly"?

It seems it's correct to say


  空调制冷效果不太好


(See Baidu search for "空调制冷效果不太好".)  That's fine and makes sense to me, but I don't understand why 空调制冷得不太好 is not also okay.
You’ve got the concepts down but the problem here is that 冷 is not a verb. So now you’ve got 得 modifying 冷 and not 制.

Often times with words like this you might see repetition of the actual verb like:

• 说话说得

• 跳舞跳得

• 写字写得

This way it’s the verb that’s being qualified.



This isn't a very common phrasing but here are some examples I found online:


  制冷制得很快





  制冷制得比较柔





  调制冷制得好不好一样





  这两天制冷制得有些不顺利
