Why does an air conditioner cools a room while the refrigerator warms a room?

Because the refrigerator moves heat from the inside of the fridge to the outside, dumping it into the room.
On top of that, the actual machine that moves the heat also gets warm, and sheds it heat into the room too.
The A/C always have to have two sides/units, to allow it to move heat from inside the room to outside the room.
Basically, a room with an A/C works pretty much like a room-sized fridge.
There are industrial grade fridges which work like A/C units, with a separate heat dumping unit that can be placed outside the room/building.
They take a lot more Plumbing to install, so you rarely find them in private homes.

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.
Why do you feel cool while opening or closing the door of a refrigerator?

Why does your home air conditioner have cool air then stops and has no water dripping from it?
When you are running your air conditioner and it stops then the air conditioner is froze up. You have to cut it off for a while, and let it warm up. You have to turn the thermometer between 70-75 to keep it from freezing up.

Why does it feel warm when you are in the pool for a while?
There could be two reasons, from a common man's stand point. Either A) Your body hits the cold water and it tells itself "Hey! You need to warm up! Or you'll die.", therefore, your body works to warm itself up and you get warm due to the body process. Or B) Heat transfer is at work. This is when two different objects of different temperatures come in contact. The hotter object cools down and the cooler object warms up until both objects are at an Equilbrium or an equal temperature.
Why is an air conditioner more effective than a fan?
Because a fan only stirs up the hot air while an air conditioner removes humidity as well as cools the air.

Is a refrigerator makes objects colder an example of the first law of thermodynamics?
The First Law of Thermodynamics is never violated, so yes (everything is an example of it...). In the case of a refrigerator, the inside of the refrigerator cools down, while the surroundings heat up. Also, energy is used to pump the heat; this is converted into additional heat. Total energy is, of course, conserved.
In the morning on cold days you have to step hard on your brake to sift in to drive this does not happen when you have been driving a while and the car is warmed up or its noon and the day is warmer.?
Your transmission fluid gets thicker [increased viscosity] as it cools overnight. This makes shift a bit stiff. As the fluid warms through use, or as the day warms up, the fluid thins, making shift easier.
Can you get frostbite in your lungs?
You cannot get frostbite on your lungs -- your nose and throat warms inhaled air, while circulating blood warms the lungs.

Is Arctic air like an air conditioner?
Arctic air is not exactly like an air conditioner. While both provide cooling, Arctic air refers to extremely cold air from the Arctic region. On the other hand, an air conditioner is a device that cools indoor air by removing heat and humidity.

Why do fruits placed inside a cabinet ripen faster than if placed inside a refrigerator?
All fruit produce ethylene gas as they ripen. Ethylene also makes fruit ripen in return. A fridge cools and contracts ethylene, while a cabinet does not (Boyles Law).
How does water get cold?
Water cools to the environment around it. a lake will have water colder in the deeper areas while warmer at the surface. Water in a refrigerator cools to the inside of the fridge because the inside temp is the surrounding that the water chills to.
