At least with the 12v to 120v it just won't work instead of exploding

And it turns out to be an ac motor in the compressor causing the fridge and the battery to short out If it stalls on a coil. The ac motor burns up with the battery. The electronic, water dispenser, and the ice maker would probably be happy assuming it's a full bridge rectifier otherwise polarity would matter but most likely wouldn't break it.
