See if you can get him to install a two-pole 25A breaker and a NEMA 14-50R receptical.
I am familiar with the concept of how the fridge works, but not the details of troubleshooting one. When operating on 120V, there is an electrical heating element that is energized. You could remove the cover from the outside of the TT and check to see if there is power going to the heating element. If is wrapped around the vertical tube that has the burner tube going into the bottom. If there is power there, then the element is probably bad or the ammonia has leaked out. If there is no power at the element then the control circuitry is suspect.
