More great information and all really helpful.
Have to admit I didn't take the sine way into consideration as I thought a frig had no real electronics and wouldn't care.?? Will keep this information in mind while looking for a new inverter. Also will relocate the inverter next to the battery along with adding a second battery. Been wanting a second battery for a while anyway and now I have a reason to add the extra battery. ??
My 4.5 cu/ft fridge draws 75a DC for 1 second when started, then settles down to about 8a DC running. If the fridge has no electronic displays a MSW inverter is probably fine. Mine's been running for some time on a $45.00 dedicated Harbor Freight inverter (750/1500). Don't need to overbuy here unless necessary.
