Fridge Won't Start on the Inverter? Troubleshooter

Fridge compressors need a big kick to start.

Fridge compressors can pull several times their running power at start. Work through one question at a time. You can go back or start over whenever you like.

Safety: this troubleshooter is general information. Follow the maker's manuals. Any work on 240V AC wiring, the switchboard, or inside an inverter, isolator or battery cabinet must be done by a licensed electrician or your installer.
