Yeah, this happened the first year in my rig. I wintered in MT to test the 4 seasons claim. lol...And dang...did I ever get a lesson in cold weather living -- and my electrical system. It took a few storms to freeze but at some point during an extended cold snap (about zero) I've since learned what another poster mentioned, to keep a light bulb on in the compartment but I had no clue then.
It was interesting that every fridge in the park froze *except* the guy whose furnace was right under this refrigerator. Something to think about if you're buying an RV.
I was determined and slid it out on to a crate filled with magazines by myself (they look so much bigger when you have to move them). From there I slid it down onto a few towels. The funny part was when I was trying to get it back in and enlisted the help of a neighbor who delivered FedEx Freight for a living. He got under one side and I got under the other and we lifted.....Got it one inch off the floor and dropped it back and down and he stands up and says, "How the *hell* did you get that thing out of there???!" We really struggled to get it back in but I guess I had the help of gravity on the removal.
