Why is it masculine?

Frigos is masculine because it's a shortened form of "frigidaire," which became a genericized trademark in French. While "frigidaire" does relate to Latin "frigidus" (cold), the more direct explanation is that "frigo" is a colloquial abbreviation that retained the masculine gender of its source word "frigidaire." In French, abbreviated forms typically preserve the gender of their parent word rather than adopting new gender assignments.
