Have you tried plugging some other device like a vacuum cleaner into the same plugs.
Could be the plug is getting weak or that the contacts inside the sockets of the plug are tarnished and not making good contact with the fridge plug.

GFIs are great in a bathroom or kitchen but I never saw a reason for one in the garage so I removed mine. It would trip sometimes and shut off the entire garage and I had 2 freezers full of food in the garage. I couldnt risk loosing a side of beef. Just change it out and be done.

And it was tripping without anything being plugged into it. The freezers were plugged into regular outlets but they were all wired through that dang GFI. I bet it tripped off 3 times in a year before I changed it out.
The one in the kitchen does this too on rare occasions but it doesnt shut off any important appliances, just the toaster and coffee maker.
Then the fridge is pulling too many amps for some reason. Dead short maybe. Plug it into a regular outlet and see if the cord gets warm or hot.
I already know you don't give two squirts of piss......GFCI's are code in a garrage.....check with your local jurisdiction
if its the cause of a fire insurance wont pay.....I know you already did that....jusayin....
...carry on
GFCIs are to prevent electrocution when in close proximity to a tub or sink. They dont prevent a fire first and foremost. There is no tub or sink or other source of water holding devices in my garage. I would never advocate removing one in a kitchen or bathroom.I already know you don't give two squirts of piss......GFCI's are code in a garrage.....check with your local jurisdiction
