I don't think turning the refrigerator upside down did anything for you. Your refrigerator quit working during that extreme cold because gas absorption refrigerators have a range of ambient temperatures in which they will work, and you were outside that range. Interestingly, extreme cold ambient temperatures will make it quit working.
This is exactly what caused your problem. Regardless, when people claim vibrating or Burping(turning upside down) fixes a cooling unit. They are not correct. The CU did NOT have a blockage. Something else was wrong and by vibrating or Burping, it did nothing. Just letting it sit for 24 hours OFF would have done the same thing. Vibrating or Burping CANNOT restore a blocked or partially block CU. The blockage is as hard as a weld and is attached to the inner tubing that way. Doug
