Interesting that others (I thought it was only my family) use Kelvinator or Frigidaire for refrigerator. This happens not just in English. I have an Italian friend whose mother came to the U.S. when she was about 50 and never learned English at all well; she didn't speak Italian well either, her language was Calabres', which is similar to Sicilian. She called the refrigerator "lu frigideru".
