Yes, I have determined that the unit has frozen up. I tried it on 110V all day when I was at work today and the compartments are warm.
I shut it down to prevent damage, or further damage,whichever the case may be.
Got up and completely blocked the roof vent with a couple batts of insulation.
Took the access door off, removed my light bulb and set up a 1500W radiant heater aimed into the back of the unit. Close enough to get some heat in there but far enough away so I don't melt something.
Going to leave the heater on it all night and hope it thaws the thing out.
Although I had a light bulb going in there, I did not block the vents like I should have.
I guess a few days below minus 30C and the wind chill into the minus 40's is what did it. Should have blocked the vents.
I'll try this, as I don't feel like pulling the refer and dragging into someplace warm to thaw out for a couple or 3 days.
