I why is sergeant shortened to 'sarge' and not 'serge'?

No; in refrigerator, the e is part of the next syllable "er" but fridge has a single syllable, so if you wrote "frige" it would be assumed that the e acted as a modifier to the "i".

Fridge is short for Fridgidaire ( dont quote me on the spelling) a French word.

Frigidaire is a US company.

It never was a French company, as it was founded in 1916 in Indiana, America.
