So I guess we are back to basic basics. 
Are you turning off the DC breaker when you try the AC breaker? Leave both on. The fridge will default to AC if AC is present. Trying to understand why the fridge is off when you flip the AC breaker on, unless it is a DC only fridge and the DC breaker is off, as long as there are no issues somewhere and it's wired up.
See if there is a power label inside the door.
As for the outlet not working either, is it the GFI by the sink? Reset button in?

When I turn main breaker on, turn fridge DC breaker on, fridge is on.
GFI is not tripped. I haven't had a real need for it to work, so I've only checked it a few times. ...and really not looked in to why it is not working. I'll dig in to that one of these days. :-)

Well just getting to this and have it all taped off and ready to cut. When I drilled a couple of starter holes seems the plastic wants to snap off. Stopped and was wondering what have others used to cut this stuff with?

Are you talking about the plexiglass? Take a drill bit and knock the sharp edges off with a grinder, so that the cutting edges are parallel to the drill centerline to where it looks like you will be scraping the plexy off, vs cutting thru it. Kinda like a carbide tipped cement drill. Otherwise with a sharp bit doing it by hand, the drill will want to screw into the plastic and break it out when the tip breaks thru the back side. Unless you can slowly feed the drill in w/o it catching. Drill it to size 1st time, don't step drill.
