jameswelsh96@yahoo.com Report post Posted December 28, 2009 I am having a problem with my refrigerator. Does anyone know why it will work on shore power and generator but not on inverter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbutler Report post Posted December 28, 2009 James, I suspect that the inverter circuits may not be connected to the refrigerator. You haven't said what kind of coach you have, year and model will be informative. Is your refrigerator the standard RV refrigerator or is it a household model? Again, who is the manufacturer and what model is it? Check the manual for the refrigerator and let us know what the electrical load of the refrigerator is. Then we turn to the inverter. What make and model is it? What is it's rated capacity? Many inverters are too small to support the load of the refrigerator and are not wired to supply electric to the refrigerator. A little more information will help us understand your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbutler Report post Posted December 28, 2009 I suppose it could be a fuse in the inverter itself. Do you have any other circuits that aren't working when the inverter is on. Our inverter doesn't have a dedicated line to the refrigerator so it if went off we would have other things that would not be working. Any fuse outside the inverter would affect the refrigerator no matter what the supply power is. Since you are only experiencing this problem with the inverter, the fuse would have to be there.

hermanmullins Report post Posted December 28, 2009 Does your ref. have a LP mode? On the LP mode it will only need the 12 volt source to operate. However here in Texas today we just leave everything out side. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
