Will putting a timer on your refrigerator at night to turn it off for a few hours help save electricity?

NO! You will instead make your fridge struggle back to a proper temperature when it turns back on. The compressor will be asked to work overtime and may go into thermal overload from the task at hand, rather than going on occasionally overnight to maintain the status quo. Besides, the food temperatures will rise to a point that will increase the rate of bacteria growth.
