I'll give it a whirl, I've heard why it works before but let me try and explain.
Usually the problem this fixes is the hard drive has stopped spinning or slowed down too much, the bearings are locked up. By putting it through temperature extremes the internal components and lubrication expand and contract loosening them up and redistributing the lubrication.
In any event, it's not a permanent fix! You're hard drive still has problems and needs to be replaced, it just gives you some time to recover your data first. make no mistake, your hard drive is FAILING if you have to do this and needs to be replaced!
