Tilting the fridge in various directions is a common voodoo trick to try
to get stuff to circulate again.  Obviously this means removing it again,
though.  I might, if you haven't tried this already, let it sit quietly
for a couple days first and see if things settle out on their own.  If
that didn't work I might try a drive on a bumpy road before resorting
to removing it again, but I'm lazy that way. ;)

What I wouldn't do is run it too long if you suspect some kind of
blockage.  Overheating the boiler can ruin the fridge.
