in fact,

$ rosrun gazebo spawn_model
Commands:
    -[urdf|gazebo|trimesh] - specify incoming xml is urdf or gazebo format
    -[file|param] [<file_name>|<param_name>] - source of the model xml or the trimesh file
    -model <model_name> - name of the model to be spawned.
    -reference_frame <entity_name> - optinal: name of the model/body where initial pose is defined.
                                     If left empty or specified as "world", gazebo world frame is used.
    -namespace <ros_namespace> - optional: all subsequent ROS interface plugins will be inside of this namespace.
    -unpause - optional: !!!Experimental!!! unpause physics after spawning model
    -wait - optional: !!!Experimental!!! wait for model to exist
    -trimesh_mass <mass in kg> - required if -trimesh is used: linear mass
    -trimesh_ixx <moment of inertia in kg*m^2> - required if -trimesh is used: moment of inertia about x-axis
    -trimesh_iyy <moment of inertia in kg*m^2> - required if -trimesh is used: moment of inertia about y-axis
    -trimesh_izz <moment of inertia in kg*m^2> - required if -trimesh is used: moment of inertia about z-axis
    -trimesh_gravity <bool> - required if -trimesh is used: gravity turned on for this trimesh model
    -trimesh_material <material name as a string> - required if -trimesh is used: E.g. Gazebo/Blue
    -trimesh_name <link name as a string> - required if -trimesh is used: name of the link containing the trimesh
    -x <x in meters> - optional: initial pose, use 0 if left out
    -y <y in meters> - optional: initial pose, use 0 if left out
    -z <z in meters> - optional: initial pose, use 0 if left out
    -R <roll in radians> - optional: initial pose, use 0 if left out
    -P <pitch in radians> - optional: initial pose, use 0 if left out
    -Y <yaw in radians> - optional: initial pose, use 0 if left out
    -J <joint_name joint_position> - optional: initialize the specified joint at the specified value

~~try~~ fridge.xml needs to be in either urdf, gazebo sdf in Fuerte or gazebo model format in Electric.
