If only I'd known there was D in my fridge, would have made the last 3 years easier

"Why is there a D in “fridge”

But not in “Refrigerator”"

To answer your question, there is no “d” in “refrigerator” because it’s a loanword from Latin, but pronounced according to the pronunciation rules of the later Romance languages; there is a “d” in “fridge” because, as a short word with a short vowel, it’s subject to our original set of Germanic spelling rules rather than our Latinate spelling rules
