check all of your outside outlets for a poor cover seal. Those will be on the circuit. For the correct way of fixing it you should have a new 30 amp breaker installed and run a dedicated line to the location of the fridge and place an outlet there that is non GFI. For a down and dirty option, change the breaker in the panel to a non GFI breaker. If you are not familiar and confident with electrical work have a professional do the work or at a minimum be onsite to instruct you.

I will definately check the exterior outlets. I only have 1 on my front porch and 1 on the back.

Since there are only 2, I guess it would be safe to go ahead and replace them with new ones just to be sure.
