Norcold n811 refridgerator not working

I recently had to replace my 1095. A phone support guy walked me through troubleshooting and said it was a blockage and I should replace.

In the course of Googling around for answers I came across something I didn’t try. It sounded a little crazy to me. It’s called “burping”. You pull the unit and set it upside down for 24 hrs. Then right side up for 24 and try it.

I still think that sounds nuts so take it for what it’s worth.

Did some searching about "burping" the fridge. It's most often used when there's an air bubble in the system from not being used. My fridge has been in full-time use since we bought the rig in 2012. Even when not camping, we kept the fridge on (we were weekend warriors before I started full-timing). Here's what I found on a different site:

"This 'technique' seems to work....but only for an air pocket that forms from a fridge that has been sitting unused for an extended period.

If you have a blockage (even a slight one) that is caused by solidification or crystalization of the sodium chromate that is a component of the refrigerant, then all you are doing is postponing the inevitable, as crystalline blockages will not dissipate and will get worse and render the unit useless eventually."

This does not sound good in my case.
