Question

will a inverter mess up the down converter on de/ev 0061 fridge and make it do funky things

my 2.5 year old de/ev0061 started to do shut down after 1-2 hours and a manual off and on would kick it back on
yesterday i checked all the power in and i had 14v dc and 128v ac the fridge compressor sounded louder than usual so i disconnected ac, it turned it self off and on twice and staid on for two hours+ will check today when i return to shop
the compressor was a lot quieter on dc than on ac kind a stumped
should norcold fridges be only run on shore or generator power not on inverted power

It can. Modified sine wave inverters often make compressor fridges and their power supplies run louder and act up, including shutting down. If it runs better on DC, use DC when you're off shore power, or switch to a pure sine wave inverter.
