I doubt that your led panel has a fridge lit led. The early panels had no switch and no pilot led. Someone could have swapped the panel of course. No need for a switch as the panel takes very little power. Early kitchens had a fridge relay mounted to the top of the fridge and the other of the 2 wires to the kitchen controls this relay.
