Fixed a goof-up on my part. I had installed a 600W Samlex Pure Sine inverter to power the small dorm fridge and sundry entertainment electronics. Unfortunately, the Samlex was unable to overcome the draw of the refrigerator when first started. The specifications show that it should have worked but no worky in real life.
I pulled the Samlex and installed a Xantrex Prowatt SW1000 Pure Sine inverter in it's stead. Now all is good and the fridge is running perfectly. I also added a surge strip for other appliances and a source for an extension cord for powering the entertainment gear. I will try to hide the extension cord for the entertainment stuff so that it is not just a cord on the floor, I hate that kind of mess.
