    Its too close to the floor. The bottom shelves are always colder. Maybe put some casters on the bottom. The floor will suck the heat out of anything touching it.
    Or maybe cut some thick wall foam insulation and place it between the floor and the rack.

    Getting the rack elevated, even a little bit will help. I have mine sitting on a shelf from a wire rack shelving unit. No legs or anything, just the shelf. The extra inch it's off the ground really makes a difference.
