One of a couple things can happen. Might trip the circuit breaker
on the generator. But more likely, the thermal overload on the
side of the compressor will trip, and then reset after a minute
or two. So, the compressor on the refrig will keep trying to
start but never quite will start.
A hard start kit for the fridge may help. Some appliance guys
(like me!) occasionally use a boost kit for when the starting
components of a compressor go bad.
