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)
Upper ent cover is still fully open, only the lower of the two accsess covers that I have "blocked" And the fan is not on, it is a thermostaticaly controlled fan. I wonder if I put a small fan in the bottom is that might help air flow a bit.
Just checked the temps again
Freezer - 67
Refrigerator - 66
This is after at least 5 hours of being back on???
I've got the fridge turned to coldest setting? good idea?
Also, it's been on gas all this time, think I might try electric now?
Outside temps today we mid 30's below freezing tonight. Not nearly as bad as it was though.
