My dometic frige in the westy doesn't cool at all.  I
removed the little devil, inverted it for 2 days,
reverted it normal position, plugged it in... nothing.
 The heating element is heating in the back.  I still
have the unit out, so I flip it over again, sideways,
back ways, front ways, liquid is sloshing all around
in the pipes.

I leave it for days upside down, and then right side
up in a warm place.  It just doesn't cool.

Any ideas?  I hear liquid moving... the ammonia is
there.  The heating element is heating (I even put
more heat on the back just to see what would happen).
Its' frustrating having a fridge that doesn't cool.

There are no tell tale signs of leaks with the
yellowish tint anywhere.

Please, whatever help would be appreciated.
