    We consturct a correction to the asymptotic solution of the following system of phase field equations [\textit{G. Caginalp}, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 92, 205-245 (1986; Zbl 0608.35080)]: \[ \partial_t(\theta+ \varphi)=\Delta\theta,\quad t\in(0,T),\quad x\in\Omega,\quad \varepsilon^2\partial_t\varphi= \varepsilon^2\Delta\varphi+ \varphi- \varphi^3+ \varepsilon\kappa\theta, \] \[ \theta|_\Sigma= g(x,t)|_\Sigma,\quad \varphi|_\Sigma= 1,\quad \theta|_{t=0}= \theta_0(x,\varepsilon),\quad \varphi|_{t= 0}= \varphi_0(x,\varepsilon). \] Here \(\Sigma= \partial\Omega\times (0,T)\), \(\Omega\) is a domain in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with smooth \((C^\infty)\) boundary, \(\varepsilon\) is a small parameter, \(\kappa>0\) is a constant, and \(\partial_t= \partial/\partial t\).
