No. The Jackery Explorer 300 cannot reliably run a Full-Size Refrigerator. The appliance requires 1200W surge to start, but the station only surges to 500W. Usable capacity is 249Wh, which would yield 0.8 hours if the appliance could run.

How long will a Jackery Explorer 300 power a Full-Size Refrigerator?

Even if the Jackery Explorer 300 could run a Full-Size Refrigerator, its 249Wh usable capacity divided by the appliance’s 300W draw would only yield 0.8 hours. However, since the station cannot handle the starting surge, the appliance will not run at all. Consider a station with 1440W+ capacity.
