A refrigerator is designed to pump heat from the inside of the refrigerator to the outside of the refrigerator. Since the refrigerator is inside a room (usually a kitchen) the heat does not escape from the house that it is in. If you examine your refrigerator you will find that there is a heat exchange unit, usually in the back (although it can be on the sides) which gets hot. So if you leave the door open, any cool air that escapes into the room is more than balanced by the heat coming from the heat exchange unit in the back. An air conditioner, in comparison, is designed to pump heat from the inside of a house to the outside of a house. If, however, you were able to mount your refrigerator inside a window frame (which would be extremely difficult) and make a reasonably air tight seal, you could then leave the refrigerator door open, and use the refrigerator as an air conditioner. It would be a lot easier to just get an actual air conditioner, however.

A refrigerator and air conditioner both remove heat from a cold reservoir and into a hot reservoir Why then does an air conditioner cool a room while a refrigerator warms a room?
Both an A/C unit and a fridge pump heat from one area into another. In the A/C unit the heat is pumped out of the room and into a discharge area, normally the outside atmosphere, thus the room is cooled, wheras for a fridge the heat is pumped from inside the fridge out into the room, thus the inside of the fridge is cooled and the room is warmed. The only difference between the working of the two is that the "room" is a different side of the heat pump.
