Ok, I admit, my fridge has a problem :) So this is not an EMI issue, but a spike one. Ok, the solution I found is to insert an 100nF capacitor between VCC and GND, this will solve the reset problem. I have 2 boards, one with an 100nF cap and one without. The one without the capacitor was resetting, so I will take this as a general rule with my microcontroller boards, inserting the capacitor. As with the fridge, I'm too busy to fix his problem :) Thank you for your kind support !
