I would very much doubt any residential refrigerator would run off a mere 1,000 watt inverter. While such a unit might only draw 600-700 watts while running, the starting surge would be in the neighborhood of 2,000 watts, way beyond the capacity of that inverter. A 1500 watt inverter MIGHT have enough surge capacity, but not a 1,000 watt inverter.
Our Mobile Suites came with a 1,000 watt inverter, 2 6v golf cart batteries and a Whirlpool residential fridge, works great!
Sounds like a breaker may be tripped, I'd call the dealer or take it back to them and have it checked.
