well i plugged my line into a direct house current and it started cooling so correct me if i am wrong but the only thing it could be is the converter losing ac voltage or a bad outlet. according to most of the forums and other sights i have read on the converter, a parallex 7300 it is normal or working normal. at the converter i am getting 109.6 vac at the gfi i am getting about the same at the external outlet i get 108.6-108.9 at the outlet to the refrigerator i get 108-108.2 the voltage from the house is 110 some where i lose up to 2 volts and the forums i have read state between 102-120 volts are the normal operation for all converters. i haven't checked the voltage my generator is putting out but i do know that my refrigerator gas shuts off when it kicks in the same as it does when i plug in to house current i will have to check all my connections and see if i can find something there,very frustrating!
