they use a mixtue of ammonia and water.
this, to the uninitaited seems like a mixture for pure corrosion eh?
Firsly, the run under a deep vacuum and to get it to this point all er almost all the air and oxygen is removed by a vacuum pump. no oxygen = no corrsion.....in theory....in fact the amount of corrosion which takes place is minute!
but this can happen and can block the piping. Also the system can crystalise and block the tubing.....
Turning them on the side, top, then other side each for a lenghty period time (day?) aloows the solution to move around and unblock the piping...this is the theory at least...sometimes it works if a blockeage is the cause. It certainly will if crystalisation has taken place....
Most times they have developed a small leak and air enters the system preventing operation.... I am assuming all other components such a gas , and
chimney are in good working order.
Cant ubderstand how turning the fridge on its side allowed
the pilot to work as someone has reported above...hahaha
