Second (you are going to love this one), some folks have found that their fridges have sat unused for too long, and the ammonia has separated from the other compounds in the cooling unit. The fix seems to be removing the fridge and gently setting it upside down for a few hours, then righting it and trying it again.
Thanks,

ELECTRIC: I left running for a couple days - Nothing.

GAS: Left running overnight 12-16 hours - Nothing.

My next level of attack will be the "burping" trick of removing it, turning it upside down, and then try again. I'm also going to check the chimney and make sure that is clear.

Fortunately the seller refunded my purchase price - worst case scenario, I'm only out the shipping and have an icebox instead of a fridge.

Hopefully your suggestion will work.
