We've seen this problem before, of mis-reading the panel labels. If you have turned off two breakers and need to turn both of them on to get AC power to the converter, then you have turned of both the branch circuit for the converter (which may also power the refrigerator) and the
main breaker.
In this example from a
previous discussion (showing Cathy's panel, with my annotations) the top breaker [30 amp] is the main - all power to the panel comes in through it. The next breaker down [15 amp] handles the power going out to the first branch circuit, which runs both the refrigerator and the converter.
