Warmer. A fridge works by transfering heat from inside the fridge to the coils out the back of the fridge. Leaving the door open is the same as pulling water out the bottom of a water cooler and pouring it back in the top. The transfering of heat cancels itself out. The fridge will stay running longer trying to keep the inside cold when the door is left open. This extra running time from the motor is the major source of the added heat to the room.

Thermal Dynamics If you leave the fridge in your kitchen open for 10 minutes after an hour is the room warmer or colder than it would have been had you not?

A fridge works by transferring heat from within itself and dumping it into the room around it. if you leave the door open then the heat gets back in again through the open door meaning you waste a lot of energy doing nothing. when the door is shut the fridge will pump heat out into the room raising it's temperature slightly. you can feel this heat coming off of the back of the fridge. when you leave the fridge door open then the temperature difference will try to reach equilibrium causing the room to cool slightly again.

Where should a fridge thermometer be place?

Since the warmer part of the fridge is the top, you want your thermometer there so you know the rest of the fridge is colder, however be sure you keep it out of the way of where the cold air blows into your fridge to avoid falsely high results.
