What happens if you keep hot ice in your fridge for a long time?

There is no such thing as hot ice. The ice is a cold and frozen solid made out of water. Ice happens when water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. But if the ice is hot, it will turn into water. If you touch the top of fridge it most of the time hot or at room temperature, so the water(hot ice as you said it) will remain at the same temperature as the room or hot.

The hot water would transfer heat to the ice, causing it to melt and eventually reach a point where the water temperature is equal throughout. This process involves the ice absorbing heat energy from the hot water until it reaches a thermal equilibrium.
