Have them check to make sure that your refrigerator and your GFI outlet are not on the same circuit, they shouldn't be but if they are and the refrigerator is fed after the GFI, meaning power goes first to GFI and then to regrigerator outlet, when the GFI trips it will knock out the referigerator outlet. Hope this helps. By the way the reverse is also true, if the power goes to the refrigerator first and then to the GFI, when the refrigerator motor kicks in it will knock out the GFI.
