No. The heat that is generated by cooling the inside is usually given off at the back of the refrigerator. If you leave the door open then everything will become room temperature.

How long for the xbox 360 to cool down?

It really depends on the ambient temperature in your house and how much airflow the area your xbox sits in gets. If you want it to cool down faster and not get as hot in the first place you want to pull it out in an open and cool area, if you want it to cool down in a hurry you could stick it in the refrigerator, but don't put it in the freezer as water will condence on it.

Why cant opening the door of the refrigerator will cool the kitchen?

If you have noticed the warm air blowing from behind your refrigerator, that is the heat that was in the air that is inside your refrigerator. If you leave the door open the air around the refrigerator will briefly feel cold, but it will warm back up and the food in the refrigerator will go bad.

Can you ruin a refrigerator by opening and closing the door too often or leave door open to put away groceries?

No, you cannot ruin the refrigerator by opening and closing the door or by leaving the door open for a few minutes. Refrigerators do have a lifespan for the number of times the doors can be opened and closed before a hinge breaks or the seal is damaged, but this cycle can be in the millions - so it won't be affected with normal use. Each time you open and close the refrigerator, some cool air escapes and can mean that the compressor will have to run to get temperature back to where it should be. Leaving the door open for a few minutes does cool off the interior and things inside will begin to cool off as well. This will result in the refrigerator compressor having to run to get the temperature back down. A good refrigerator is designed to have the compressor go through these cycles many thousands of times. The only reason someone may be concerned with having the refrigerator work more would be the electric bill (it goes up, refrigerator compressors use a lot of power) or the refrigerator compressor has had problems previously.


If the refrigerator door is accidentally left open will it burn out the compressor pump's motor?

If you leave your refrigerator's door open whilst it is switched off, no harm will be done - in fact it is a very good idea to do this as it will help to prevent the mold build-up which can easily happen if it is left closed at normal room temperature with no fresh air circulation. If you leave your refrigerator's door open whilst it is switched on, the compressor pump will run continuously trying to cool the air in the room whilst at the same time pumping heat out into the same room! That is not a good idea for at least 3 reasons: * you will waste electricity 24/7 * the fridge will not cool down enough to protect any food * the compressor and its electric motor will both overheat, which will usually reduce their normal working life from 8 to 10 years to only maybe 1 year or less.


Is it possible to cool down a room on a hot summer day by leaving the refrigerator door open?

Assuming I've interpreted your question correctly, the answer is No: A refrigerator is a heat exchanger; it removes heat from the inside and pumps it to the outside -- to plates on the rear of the fridge. If you feel the back of a refrigerator, it will be warm. You may think that if you separated the plates from the "cooling" part of the fridge and put them outside the room, it would cool the room. And in that case, you'd be correct -- that's how air conditioning works.


What happens to the room temperature if the door of the refrigerator is kept open?

Assuming the room is completely sealed, with no air flow in or out, the room temperature would go up. According to my college chemistry professor, refrigerators can only cool small cubic areas of air. However the motor that is running the refrigerator produces measurably more heat, and due to the door being open would run continuously to try to keep the refrigerator cool. The small amount of cool air coming out of the refrigerator would be no match for the heating effect of the motor, thereby raising the room temperature.
