This is the way our RV refridgerators function.
How things work
If you read the article above you should understand the importance of being level.
And, when it isn't working because you weren't level for a prolong period of time the "fix" is to turn it off for a couple of days, let the coils "rest" so the system equalizes... drive around, shake up the ammonia... then and only then with the fridge level restart it's heat source (110 VAC, 12 VSC, or propane flame)
Doing the above first will save you a bucket full of money.
If it still doesn't function... phone the manufacture... it may be under warrenty or a system board might be under recall...
... then (and only then) take a look at replacing the control board
---------------------------
Notice... you do not ever have to turn the fridge upside down... you didn't have to replace the coil, you didn't pay a jack leg up to a 1400 dollars to fix or replace it.
There is nothing in the coil to plug up... you can have a vapor lock from parking with the unit out of level for an extended time
These are the simplist pieces of equipment that we have, turn off for a day or two, let it completely return to the ambient temperature, have patience, drive around, shake up, save money....
