Help with Missing Inverter

Hi we had our residential fridge inverter and switch went out due to a converter surge and I thought I would buy a good used one that combined switch and inverter. The model is a magnum CSW2012HX but being it’s used they don’t have the control/ display switch. I can get a generic on/off switch on eBay but I would prefer the original one and was hoping someone on this forum might have one laying around. Here is what looks like

Thanks in advance

As an electrician and the person who re-wired our RV and did a solar install, I can see no way for the converter to affect the factory inverter and switch. If you can use a VOM, it's a trivial exercise to prove that the inverter and switch are good or bad. Good luck.

Dang, looks like a gorilla removed that control panel. If your voltage converter was able to output such a high charging voltage as to damage the inverter, your batteries may be being cooked as well. Check the water levels (if applicable) in the batteries. Hopefully you address the converter issue before installing the gifted panel that was so generously offered you.
