Hi, I have sold a guy a 600w modified sine inverter, was tested
before it was sent away, he received it but he couldnt get it to
work (he wants it for his fridge), so he brought it back to me. I
tested it and it didnt work so I gave him a new one, I tested it
infront of him with a 500w jigsaw, worked fine. I got a call from
him two hours later, he said he tested it on his drill it workd
fine then he put it on his 300w fridge but it didnt work so he
tried the drill again and that didnt work either. So now he has
blown up two inverters.
The inverter has a overload cut off so I dont see how the fridge
could blow up the inverters, anyone have any idea?

There is a company that sells inverters specificaly to run fridges in
boats, the model they sell has a 600 watt continuous output, and
something like a
2.5 to 3 killowatt surge capacity, that's something that's not common
on a standard 600 watt inverter.

It might be cheaper, and at least more power-efficient to get a fridge which
runs on the availabel voltage, eg 12V.
