My grandmother always called it the frigidaire too. She had a Philco. My Dad always called his wallet a purse, and I remember several relatives who called an umbrella a "bumber". I remember reading old letters from a hundred years back where they often would start a sentence with the word Oyes.
By the way, "bumber" came from the British slang term "bumbershoot" (umbrella).
