Answer:

look in fridge the d is silent so we call it frige

Explanation:

Since both the technology and the jargon were relatively new it was up to those writers to determine its spelling, and it is most likely that the word was changed from "frig" to "fridge" in order to mimic the spelling of similar words that had the same sound, such as bridge, ledge, dodge, fudge, and more.
