Refrigerator not cooling

My 25FB was parked overnight on steep incline with fridge running on gas. Next day fridge is no longer cooling. I suspect the refrigerant pooled in the coil.
Will this problem correct itself now that the trailer is level?
Anyone had this problem? If can you help?

I'm not aware of a refrigerator recovering from off-level operation of that duration. The literature states 45 minutes as the maximum period for off-level (>15 degrees?) operation.

Tow it some with it off and see if you can redistribute the coolant then try it on 110vac.

Thanks for your help. I can happily report that I switched off the fridge for 8 hours while levelled up and the fridge is now running like new.
