No, leaving the door of a refrigerator open will not cool a room, but will actually make the room hotter. A refrigerator cools its own interior by pumping heat to the heat exchange coils in the back (some models do not have exposed heat exchange coils, but the sides or back of the refrigerator have coils just underneath them, and they get hot). Those heat exchange coils pump heat into the room. Since the process is not 100% efficient, the amount of heat produced includes a certain amount of waste heat. As a result, pumping heat from one part of the room to another part of the room results in a net increase in heat.
Leaving the oven door open allows heat to escape into the room, warming it up. On the other hand, leaving the refrigerator door open lets the warm air from the room enter the refrigerator, making it work harder to cool and not affecting the room temperature significantly.
Yes, leaving the refrigerator door open will cause the room temperature to increase. The refrigerator removes heat from its interior and expels it into the room through the coils at the back. When the door is open, the heat from the refrigerator interior will escape into the room, causing a slight increase in temperature.
No, leaving the refrigerator door open will not effectively cool down a room. The small amount of cold air that escapes from the fridge will not be enough to counteract the heat in the room. It will actually end up making your refrigerator work harder and use more energy to maintain its temperature.
When you open a refrigerator door, warmer air from the room enters the refrigerator and mixes with the cooler air inside. This can cause the temperature inside the refrigerator to slightly increase as it works to re-establish the set temperature. The refrigerator then expels this warmer air through its coils to maintain the desired temperature.
Assuming I've interpreted your question correctly, the answer is No: A refrigerator is a heat exchanger; it removes heat from the inside and pumps it to the outside -- to plates on the rear of the fridge. If you feel the back of a refrigerator, it will be warm. You may think that if you separated the plates from the "cooling" part of the fridge and put them outside the room, it would cool the room. And in that case, you'd be correct -- that's how air conditioning works.

No, although the short-term effect would be for the refrigerator air / freezer air to mix with and cool the air in the room.The function of refrigerator is a heat exchanger; it removes heat from the inside of the fridge and pumps it to the outside of the fridge.If we open the refrigerator door, it will remove the heat from the air that mixes inside, but then will exchange the heat back into the kitchen. That's why the room can't be cooled for a long period. In fact, due to waste heat, the room could become warmer once the refrigerator contents have reached room temperature.
Leaving the refrigerator door open can cause the temperature inside to rise, leading to food spoilage and increased energy consumption. This can result in food going bad faster and higher electricity bills.

Yes, a room can be cooled when a refrigerator door is open, but it's not effective or practical. When the refrigerator is running, it removes heat from its interior, expelling that heat into the room via the condenser coils. While the air inside the fridge can become cooler, the overall heat output from the refrigerator will likely raise the room's temperature over time, making it an inefficient cooling method.

He is leaving door open and does not want to end it. He is leaving door open and does not want to end it.
Cold air. Cold air is heavier than warm air so when you open the fridge door the cold air 'drops' out of the fridge onto the floor.
No, for two reasons. First, the fridge door has to be closed to keep the air temperature inside the fridge cool enough to keep the foods cold and safe. Second, leaving the fridge door open causes the refrigerator to run more, costing more energy and running up the electric or gas bill.
Because the motor running the compressor is generating more heat than the compressor is cooling. Once you close the door the space being cooled is smaller and the compressor can keep up and overcome that heat from the motor.
No, you cannot ruin the refrigerator by opening and closing the door or by leaving the door open for a few minutes. Refrigerators do have a lifespan for the number of times the doors can be opened and closed before a hinge breaks or the seal is damaged, but this cycle can be in the millions - so it won't be affected with normal use. Each time you open and close the refrigerator, some cool air escapes and can mean that the compressor will have to run to get temperature back to where it should be. Leaving the door open for a few minutes does cool off the interior and things inside will begin to cool off as well. This will result in the refrigerator compressor having to run to get the temperature back down. A good refrigerator is designed to have the compressor go through these cycles many thousands of times. The only reason someone may be concerned with having the refrigerator work more would be the electric bill (it goes up, refrigerator compressors use a lot of power) or the refrigerator compressor has had problems previously.
