The room and the refrigerator are a closed system. The fridge, being a machine, has efficiency which is less than 1. Therefore it creates more "waste" energy which is released into the room than it cools the insides of the fridge.

∙ 7y agoThe refrigerator doesn't "create cold" - it is a heat pump that takes heat energy from one place to another - and in the process, it CREATES ADDITIONAL HEAT ENERGY. If you manage to have the hot part of the refrigerator (often, in the back of the refrigerator) outside of your house, then the refrigerator will pump heat out of the house - and that's exactly what an air-conditioning unit does.

Why would a refrigerator become hot?
A refrigerator that's working normally becomes cold on the inside and hot on at least part of the outside, usually somewhere in the back. The refrigerator's job is to remove heat from the inside, where the food is stored. When it does that, it must do something with the heat. It's usually built to dissipate that heat from a series of tubes mounted on the back. If it is hot inside the compartment, it is likely that the gas has leaked away and the compressor running hot as a result.
