Follow-up to my frozen refrigerator....

Hey folks...13 years ago my fridge froze during an arctic blast while I was wintering in Montana. I had heard that if you turn it upside down to remix the chemicals it would fire up again. I posted my play-by-play here and had one heckler who said it would never work. I dragged it out by myself (all 120 lbs of me), tilted it up...and it restarted. And now, 13 years later it's still working. Never had another problem with it.

Viva la tilt!

    Yes it does work for some of us.

    I too did the same thing as you and got my fridge back. It worked ever since. Always a naysayer out there who would rather not try some oddball fix.

    It doesnt always work but why not try it? It's free!

    Jerry, I have CRS, but at least I remember my fridge fix! :B

    That is great, that your fridge still works! It is nice to get an update of a problem solved. Sorry to say, that waiting 13 years, to give an update, may be too late for the thread responders. The ones still alive, likely stricken with CRS.

    Still, good to know that a revived fridge is still going.

    When it's not working and you're out of options, you had nothing to lose.
    It solved your problem!
    Thanks for the update.
