I think that PU has a switch under the galley sink so that when you flip the galley over, the upper part of the galley sits on the switch and allows the lights to work.
Also, check your fuses. If that isn't it, I have a few other suggestions. However, one of those gets it in 90% of cases.
There is also a wire from the box to the roof that powers the ceiling lights. If the galley switch is good and making connection, look for this wire pair. It normally follows one of the support posts, and has a connector, either at the roof or at the bottom of the post. If the wires are disconnected, or the connector is corroded, no 12V power to the ceiling lights. While this won't effect the 12V operation of the fridge, it may be something to look at for the lights.
Does the fridge work on propane or 110AC?
