Hello folks,
I am not in the refrigeration profession and need help in determining the kind of refrigerator I purchased.
I bought this generic China-made French Door refrigerator (Hisense), which was listed as having an inverter compressor on Amazon. There is no mention of the word 'inverter' on the packaging or the fridge itself. Even the user manual completely avoids talking about the compressor type.
I Googled the compressor model and some identifying information printed on the logic board but I couldn't find any convincing info. I checked the power consumption with an energy meter and the refrigerator gradually consumes power starting from 1 watt upto 300 watts (2.5 kWh per day). There are no abrupt power spikes.
I called up Hisense customer support several times and they are avoiding answering my compressor query, citing lack of technical staff due to Covid19 lockdown. I emailed to Chinese headquarters, messaged them on Twitter. Got no response, even though both the local and Chinese HQs are tweeting regularly.
Can somebody please take a look at the attached pictures of compressor and the logic board and figure out if it's an inverter compressor?
Compressor Label: JiaXipera NB1116Y 240 Volts AC, 50 Hz
Motor type: RSCR (found from Google)
Text on logic board:
HODGEN 20.22.440.20.05.04

Thank you guys in advance for providing any insight and reading this long message!
