Usually the only time you'd get a blockage in the tubing is if you had parked for a while with more than an 8% tilt on the refer. Or if the refer had been shut off and left off for weeks. I've not heard of a spontaneous blockage under normal conditions but I suppose it's possible.
If either one of those scenarios is the case, and after you've eliminated other causes, then rattling the tubing with a rubber mallet for an hour or attaching some device that vibrates the tubing and leaving it there for an hour might help.
I did that with my brothers refer after he parked with it on a hill and left it on for a couple weeks without noticing it was on. Totally stopped cooling but I did an hour long rapping with a rubber mallet on the tubing brought it back to life. It's still working after 8 years.
Back in the old days, people would restore their refer by pulling them out, flipping them upside down, and letting them sit for 24-48 hours. That would often restore them. I prefer to do the vibration thing first.
