Why is it masculine?

Congélateur is masculine because it derives from the French verb "congeler" (to freeze), which comes from Latin "congelare" (con- + gelare, meaning to freeze together), and French nouns formed with the agent suffix "-ateur" are consistently masculine by grammatical convention. This suffix, inherited from Latin "-ator," naturally carries masculine gender in French.
