Yes. The inverter kicks on during defrost. I read this response from GE on another microwave model.

Probably. Ask the manufacturer.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. The refrigerator's defrost cycle uses a heater to melt frost buildup on the cooling coils, and cycling the heater on and off prevents overheating. This normal on-and-off behavior regulates the temperature during defrost and ensures efficient frost removal. - Carl | Insignia Support
