Turning fridge upside down is a bandaid fix.......nothing more.
The 'idea' is that cooling flow has become blocked due to improper fluid flow and overheating which causes crystallization that sticks to inside wall of tubes.
Turning it upside down is suppose to dislodge the build up and allow the cooling fluid to flow again.
The build up has already occurred....it is stuck permanently to tubes
Turning it upside down may dislodge the crystals but they do NOT dissolve back into solution. Once formed they are permanent.
They form due to off level operation...and accumulate overtime. They will not go away.

Need some air flow thru lower vent cover.
Upper vent cover should be fully open...no blocking and I take it the fans are not on? (some folks have them manual vs t-stat controlled)
