The inrush curent of a fridge lasts so short it's not gonna melt anything. Things melt because of short or long running overload (relatively long, could be less than a minute, but still much longer than fridge start).

The duration is not the issue; gross energy size is the issue. The inrush is probably longer than a lightning strike...

Unless there's a fault with the fridge of some sort.
