Note
A regular plural: the -s simply follows the agent suffix -or, as in generators and incubators. It covers every use of the singular. That includes kitchen appliances and the cold cabinets that keep blood, film or insulin. It also includes people whose presence has a chilling influence. The short form fridge pluralizes the same way, as fridges.
