If it results in the compressor running continuously, as it will after a short delay, then the power consumption of the compressor motor is going to waste. In addition the energy used to cool the fridge in the first place will also be lost, this would amount to perhaps a half hour of extra running. Look at the rating on the machine in watts.

∙ 13y agoThe same amount of heat that is removed from inside plus the energy that is used in the compressor which, apart from a tiny amount lost as sound, all ends up as heat. A fridge simply moves heat from one place to another. If a fridge has a 1000 watt motor then that is what will be given in heat off while the compressor is running plus the heat its moving from inside at the time.

∙ 10y agoIn some cases, yes. If you use energy for heating, part of that energy is wasted when you leave the door open - the heat escapes to the outside in this case. Similarly, if you use energy for air-conditioning, heat comes back into the house if you leave the door open - and the air-conditioner must work extra, and will of course use more energy.

Can you warm a kitchen by leaving the oven door open?
That only works if the oven is ON .
Is it possible to cool down a room on a heat summer day by leaving the refrigerator door open?
No, the fridge puts as much heat out its back as it will put out the door.
Why a room can be warmed by leaving open the door of an oven but cannot be cooled by leaving open the door of a kitchen refrigerator?
the second law of thermodynamics proves that heat always flows from hot to cold. It is hard to give good every day examples, since when you open the refrigerator door you feel cold but actually the room is warming the fridge.
What is the energy change when a fridge door is left open?
In my particular case, the kinetic energy of my father's hand would be converted into heat energy in that event, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the seat of my pants. Speaking thermodynamically . . . when the fridge door remains open in a sealed room, the fridge keeps removing heat from the room-air that enters it, and expelling that heat into the room, along with the heat of the compressor and circulation fan, causing a continuous rise in the temperature of the room as long as the door stays open. The bottom-line energy conversion is from utility power at the wall-outlet into heat in the room, by way of the motors in the fridge's heat-transfer system.
How did Albert Einstein did not know how to open a door?
Albert Einstein in fact DID know how to open a door.
After argument he states to call when you quit nagging and getting head straight does he want to end relationship or leaving door open?

How do you open your 1992 Honda accord door with a slim Jim?
You eat the slim Jim which gives your lazy butt energy to open the door.
Can a freezer not being cold enough be a result of leaving the door open for eight hours?
That would certainly do it.
What is the last thing you should do when leaving the bathroom?
Open the door by using a paper towel to touch the handle
How much Energy is used leaving outside door open?
Too many variables to answer this one accurately. Outside temperature, wind chill, general infiltration, other doors/windows open, efficiency of heating/air conditioning unit etc etc.
What is a doorstop?
it i slike a wedge that helps keep doors open. other doorstops, are behind the door to stp the door from banging on the wall and leaving marks.
Is it possible to cool down a room on a heat summer day by leaving the refrigerator door open?
No, the fridge puts as much heat out its back as it will put out the door.
Is it ok to leave the refrigerator open?
No, for two reasons. First, the fridge door has to be closed to keep the air temperature inside the fridge cool enough to keep the foods cold and safe. Second, leaving the fridge door open causes the refrigerator to run more, costing more energy and running up the electric or gas bill.

How do you open the door with the bones in the minotaurs place?
Intead of leaving ten bones behind, (which is impossible) spell out the word: TEN.
