When you plug in your fridge, the electricity energises the freon in the copper piping, which then spreads all over the fridge cooling it down. The biggest pipes are at the top, which pushes cold air to the bottom. Doing so, the warm air is in turn pushed up and when it gets to the top, it is cooled by the pipes. The process is then repeated over and over and over. This is how the food is cooled in a fridge xxx

Should you refrigerate hot spaghetti sauce or let it cool first?

It has to cool down or the whole fridge will get warm. Supposedly, modern refrigerators can handle hot food without a negative impact on other food in the fridge. Personally, I would let the food cool so that it is no longer steaming before placing it in the fridge. The food should be cooled from 140°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then chilled down to 40°F within another 4 hours. Either quick chill the food with an ice bath or separate it into smaller containers to facilitate faster cooling.
