Probably not. If a refrigerator were in a room so cold that the outside temperature caused the refrigerator to be very cold inside, the thermostat in the refrigerator might not ever cause the device to actually use any energy. For most normal purposes, the refrigerator will be better off in a cooler room simply because the outside atmosphere will not be constantly warming up the fridge from the outside. Think about how much more you need the air conditioning on to keep a room at 70 degrees on a hot day than on a cold one.

Does a fridge use more energy in a warm room?
Yes.
Where does the energy come from which makes the pipes at the back of a fridge warm?
The energy comes from the heat taken from the heat/energy inside of the refrigerator/fridge. A fridge takes heat energy from inside the fridge and dumps it outside the fridge into the the pipes on the back of the fridge and into the room.
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.
Does opening the refrigerator in the house make the room cold or not?
It can but dont leave your fridge open for too long!
Why a soda can feels cold when you take it out of the refrigerator?
because the temp. inside the fridge. is colder than room temperature yup
Does a fridge use more energy in a warm room?
Yes.
When heat energy is used it becomes?
It becomes cold. Until room temperature. Then energy must be needed to suck more heat from it, and it can get colder then, like in a fridge - it is plugged into the power slot which powers it

Can you use ice to keep your room cold?
No. But if u have a freezer or fridge in ur room that would work
If you heat with electric heat does it cost you more to leave the refrigerator door open during the winter since any lost energy goes into heat anyway?
The energy you put into running the fridge, which is that required to run the compressor, will in any case appear in the room where the fridge is situated, so if this room is in the house and not in an unheated outhouse where this energy would be lost, this energy goes towards the total you need to keep the house warm. You probably have noticed that the heat exchanger on the back of the fridge gets warm, and in fact it's best to allow some air to circulate behind the fridge to take this heat away by convection, so it does add to the heating in that room. If you leave the fridge door open, the compressor will need to run overtime, maybe even continuously, so you use more electricity for the fridge but this will help to heat the room. However the purpose of the fridge is to keep the contents cool, and with the door open you will get temperature gradients that mean part of the contents is not at the desired cold temperature, so it's not a good idea! A somewhat similar argument can be made when using low energy light bulbs instead of normal ones. You put less energy into the lighting, but that must mean you need more energy from the heating system.
Will bananas rot faster on a counter or in the fridge?
it depends if your counter is hot or cold or what the room temperture is!!!!!!!!!!!

a large mirror, small fridge for cold drinks, microwave and bean bags!
Is it better to keep the thermostat 60 degree or 40 degree?
It depends on where the thermostat is: in a fridge, in a room, in a jacuzzi.It depends on where the thermostat is: in a fridge, in a room, in a jacuzzi.It depends on where the thermostat is: in a fridge, in a room, in a jacuzzi.It depends on where the thermostat is: in a fridge, in a room, in a jacuzzi.
