Well I tried it on electric when we got back home and no dice. As a last ditch effort before ordering a new core, I tried burping the unit by removing it from the 5er and placing it on each side and upside down for about 5 minutes each side. Before I did this I removed all the heat shielding and didn't find any obvious signs of leaks on any of the rear tubing. I also heard liquid sloshing with each rotation of the burp procedure which was encouraging.
After that I plugged it into AC power and 20 min later I'm at 49F and falling in the freezer.
On our trip I had the fridge running on propane and we did about 2 hours worth of steep uphill. I suspect that prevented proper circulation and crystallized the rust inhibitor which was corrected during the burp.
Who knows how long it will last, but I'm glad it's working again!
There is some rust on the cooling tubes in the rear. Is there a paint I can put on to stop the rust while I have the fridge out of the 5er?
