We have a LG washer that blew 2 sets of boards running off my Magnum. Now we have a Mobile RV tech turned up here (total off the grid) and had the same problem with a Splendid washer.. so he bought a Go Power 1000w PSW inverter just for washer and no more problems. He said it is down to the harmonic's in the Magnum.. any thoughts. Do I do the same? Before we had a Maytag for 7 years until it gave out, worked fine on solar not so many electronics I been told.

Yep electronics and harmonics

Yes, often newer appliances have more sensitive electronics and need pure sinewave power. Another example is the old Samsung RF197 French door fridge would run on modified sinewave, but its replacement, the RF18, requires pure sinewave.
Note that Magnum does make pure sinewave inverters, not just modified sinewave ones. We have a 3000 watt Magnum inverter/charger that is pure sinewave.

Hey Bill
I have the Magnum MS 2000-20B PSW inverter/Charger and Tri Star MPPT controller.Very happy with the set up apart from not being able to use the washer.
Cheers Den.

Iam being told now it could be the LG washer has direct drive motor and an inverter in the washer causing the problem?
