Why waste money on a 30 amp or even a very heavy 10/3 extension cord when it is not needed to keep the fridge running. This is wasteful and I have never found wasting resources to be good behavior for any reason.
If a fridge will run on 108 to 132 volts as Redsky mentioned then why put in a super duty cord to get 119 volts instead of a much lighter and more compact and less expensive 14/3 cord that provides 116 volts.
I use a 30 amp cord that is 15 feet long at campgrounds and use it to power an AC as well as a microwave and the fridge, but that is not the same as a 100 foot cord to hook into a house outlet to run a fridge overnight. Maybe time to get a little perspective.
