Does inverter run refrigerator '96 Windsor

On my 96 Windsor the refrigerator will not run on AC off of the inveter.
Do I have a malfunction or were they not wired that way in 96?

My 97 Endeavor does not provide AC power to the reefer from the inverter .... genset and shore power only.

The inverters back for those year models may not have had enough power for the fridge. Just a guess!

If you have an RV refrigerator that runs on propane, there is little reason to want to run it off of AC using the inverter since the electric load would be rather large. Many coaches with inverters are wired so the fridge is plugged into a circuit which intentionally isn't connected to the inverter. Quite often there is a second power outlet behind the fridge that is intended for the ice maker and that outlet does have inverter power so ice can be made when the fridge is operating off of propane.
