On my 2021 regal 26xo, I’m kinda stumped. I just replaced and upgraded the stereo so I’m not sure if something is unplugged after that or this is how it is.
If your battery switch is OFF, and you’re on shore power and the refrigerator breaker is on… does the fridge turn on? I coulda sworn it did.
Currently, the fridge only turns on if the battery Switch is ON (regardless if I’m connected to shore power or not)
Can anyone confirm?

I know on my older 26 the fridge is only on if battery is on, 12Volt frige only. I think they do not consider a 26 big enough to have frige on all the time unless you are on shore power with battery and inverter running to keep battery charged. Larger boat most likey have a dual voltage frige that will run on 12v or 120v shore power. You could replace your unit with a dual voltage for about 800.00

My fridge always works when on battery power. I just can’t remember if the fridge worked when shore power is ON and the battery switch is OFF.
I had work done on the boat and I wanna make sure they didn’t unplug anything

The fridge on the new 26 XO is dual voltage.
To the OP, your fridge is going to be on once the 12 volt main is on. The only way to turn it "off" once the 12 volt main is engaged is by taking the knob on the inside of the fridge and setting it to "0". If you turn the 120 panel breaker on, the fridge is going to run on 120.
One of the things I don't like is that the new 26 XO does not have a dedicated 12 volt breaker panel. It should.

Two breakers in salon, on AC/ secon DC. Leave both on all the time. |

You could replace your unit with a dual voltage for about 800.00 If you have a 15/20 amp automatic "house" charger it would run the fridge on DC thru battery when on shore power plus charge whatever battery(s) you have, hopefully a starting and deep cycle AGM house battery with battery isolator. . |
