I think the progressive low voltage drop out is set to 104 volts. If that's a cheapo 16 gauge extension cord. You will have about 13-15 percent voltage drop so you would need at least 120 volts coming in to the cord to keep the voltage at the distant end above the Progressive drop out voltage level.
I suspect your problem has no relationship to the transfer switch but power disconnect is occurring due to the Progressive detecting a low voltage condition. The Progressive contactor is the thunk you're hearing and not the transfer switch.
I think you probably need a shorter and/or fatter cord.

Check the voltage at the source with it off and then at the load side with it on. The difference is the voltage drop and probably insufficient to activate the transfer sw.
If the fridge is your only concern, then just power it up directly.

Yes it does have the progressive low voltage on it , that is problay what it is thanks

The transfer switch is in the normally closed position to shore power. It makes no difference what the voltage is. The transfer switch should not be trying to switch unless it sees voltage from the generator.
Are you sure it was the transfer switch clicking?

Think you have it backward, default is Gen, when you plugin the transfer switch makes the noise. And then the electrons flow.
