By "kill", do you mean kill forever and never recover?!
Running off level starts a process where the ammonia "starts" to block and attaches that blockage inside the cooling unit tubing. It is very small at first but continued off level operation will then complete a blockage to where the Ammonia cannot vaporize and Liquid to cool. So, once you have a small blockage, the unit will still work, just not as well as an unblocked unit. After months or years of off level operation at various times the blockage finally stops the cooling completely. You cannot free up a blockage. It is as hard as weld slag and attached like a weld. If you would leave a refer OFF LEVEL severely for a few days, and ON, the unit will probably be destroyed. Doug
PS, this is stated in the operators manuals of all RV refers.
