I have been chasing what I think is an electrical issue. A while back my refrigerator wouldn't start. When I turned he refrigerator on, I would see a voltage dip and it would just continue to cycle, not start but attempt to start. If I started the motor, the refer would start just fine. The two 4D house batteries were about ten years old so I thought, maybe it was time to replace them. So I did...that was about four weeks ago. Sitting in my boat yesterday, I could hear the refer cycling again. Sometimes it would start but cycling to attempt to start mostly.
Along with this, I have an 700 watt inverter that powers a small LED TV that draws less than 100 watts. If the refer is on (or attempting to start) the inverter sounds a low voltage alarm.
All this has occurred with fully charged batteries. I also thoroughly cleaned all the connections to the batteries and the Phase Three Charger when I installed them. I've tried switching the batteries to All to see if I could get the refer to start with out starting the motor. Which is odd now that I write this post.... I can start my engine but not my refrigerator... I think I may have a bad refrigerator unit....?
