Best Answer

The compressor and other components of a refrigerator act as a heat pump, moving heat from within the fridge to the outside of the fridge. The heat doesn't vanish, but is literally moved. You may have noticed that the coils behind the regrigerator are warm, or that the air behind the fridge while it is running feels warmer. That is not a coincidence, and it is not just the heat generated by the running machinery. See link if you want some technical detail.
