Appears I am another victim of relying on what is on the internet to be true. You think I would know better. Googled average watts used by a refrigerator in defrost cycle.I don't know where you get your 300 watts but my inverter's load meter indicated 800 watts were used for my Summit 8.2cuft fridge in the defrost mode.
And those who plan to purchase a 1KW inverter for a fridge with auto defrost should consider going with a higher wattage unit.....but it's your money
