Hi,
It did actually work for a member here called "BobsYourUncle". He operated his fridge when it was extremely cold outside. This happened two years ago in Calgary.

While you were away the coolant gelled from the low temperatures. If you are lucky resetting the high limit may work--but the gelling may have caused an overheating situation and caused a block in the tubing. Sometimes the blockage can be dislodged by taking the fridge out and tipping it upside down (please use violence, rolling it over several many times). I hope you get it working again soon.
This is an old wive's tale. If the chemicals have hardened in the tubing, they have gone through a chemical reaction, and no amount of tipping, burping, beating, or anything else will restore it.
Extreme COLD will NOT harm or block a cooling unit. What I think the OP meant was, BURPING a BLOCKED cooling unit is a Old Wives tale. IT WILL NOT FIX A BLOCKED UNIT! Doug
