Is there a fridge in the workshop? Perhaps you could freeze water bottles and use them to keep the (postmortem) Fridge working as a cooler?
They do sell 12 volt coolers, perhaps one of those could be a help?
Yes there is a fridge in the shop. And I have the full blessing of the owner to use it.
I have a 12V cooler, but it is at home at the coast. They really are not the most efficient things. I actually abandoned it in my garage because it wasn't the best. It only goes a few degrees below the ambient temperature. And it sucks a lot of 12V. I pulled into Fort Mac late one night a number of years back and forgot to unplug it. 5 hours later, I got up in the morning to go to work. Both batteries, dead. Truck wouldn't even turn over. Walked a long ways to find a auto parts store and bought a battery charger.... long story, not positive!!!! kinda put a taint in my mouth!
I can make it for a few days here without my fridge, maybe a week. By then I should be able to exhaust all means of trying to get this thing going again. I really don't feel like pulling it out and dorking with it. Likely should though as I may save myself a gobba change. I'll try the upside down deal and see what happens.
I can use the shop fridge for now. My cold storage compartment is actually working quite well!!
