We have a new to us 2008 330 EC. When we leave the boat, we have the shore power connected and on, the house battery on and the battery charger on. Everything else, including the cockpit refrigerator, is off at the panel. Even though the cockpit refrigerator switch is off at the panel, the refrigerator is still running and cold when we return a week later. (I don't remember why we leave the house battery on but we do. Is it for the bilge pump?) Any ideas why the refrigerator is still running?

Yes. It is running on the battery. You need to turn back the dial on the fridge to the off position for it to actually turn off.Bella Sabrina II 370EC -

That is just to cut the AC power to it. It runs on both AC and DC.Bella Sabrina II 370EC

freimr, yes, but you also have to turn the fridge breaker on. So the minute the fridge sees 110V this takes preference over 12V, as you point out.Boat Name: King Kong
