I have seen and heard "frigo", although I'm not sure how widespread or current it is. The French do like to shorten words.
Btw, given the discussion here about the origin of "fridge", it seems Frigidaire is also credited with being the origin of "frigo".
La Rousse gives "frigo" as a synonym for réfrigérateur. http://www.larousse.com/en/dictionaries/french-english/frigo/35224

Frigidaire is a common word for "fridge" in Quebec, but I believe is origins is because it's the name of the major appliance company common for manufacturing refrigerators (same name).
