If the liquid fraction is too low to show why is the VOF model a good choice? 

You currently have two distinct fluid domains, and that can make convergence tricky. If you remove the water domain, but set a boundary condition on the water surfaces to reflect the cooling you simplify the model and reduce the cell count.
