If you leave the door open, heat is simply recycled into the Refrigerator from the room, then back into the room. A net increase in room temperature would result from the engine heat that would be running constantly to move energy around in a circle.

Q. Can a fridge break from being too full?
Too much food in your refrigerator makes it difficult for air to circulate and keep food cool enough. The motor will have to work overtime, and this can lead to excess wear, tear, and ultimately, failure that will spoil your fridge full of food.
Q. How long can a refrigerator stay open?
2 hours
Q. Can kitchen be cooled by leaving the door of a refrigerator open?
No, the room can’t be cooled by leaving the door of an electric refrigerator open. In fact the temperature of the room rises because the refrigerator extracts heat from the freezing chambers and rejects it to the surrounding air in the room.
Q. What happens if you leave the fridge door open overnight?
If left open too long, it can make the compressor overheat and shut off until it cools off or fail completely (please note the compressor is the mostly costly component). But if your fridge is newer, it probably shuts off on its own if the door is left open for too long.
Q. Why you shouldn’t leave the fridge door open?
When you open your refrigerator, the cold air that keeps your food fresh escapes and is replaced by warm air from the room. The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florida says that being careless with opening and closing your fridge door wastes 50 to 120kWh a year.
Q. When the door of refrigerator is kept open then the room temperature starts?
If a refrigerator’s door is kept open, then room will become hot, because then refrigerator exhaust more heat into the room than earlier. In this way, temperature of the room increases and room becomes hot. No refrigerator is efficient.
Q. How long does a refrigerator run each day?
about eight hours
Q. How often should a fridge start and stop?
It is typical for a refrigerator compressor to run anywhere between 4 to 8 hours straight before shutting off. In fact, newer refrigerators are expected to constantly run 80-90 percent of their lifetime.
Q. Do refrigerators run better full or empty?
A full freezer retains cold better than an empty one. When you open the door, the mass of frozen food will help keep in the cold, and the unit won’t have to work as hard to cool empty space. But don’t jam pack the freezer either; you need air to circulate.
Q. Why does my refrigerator keep cycling on and off?
If your refrigerator is short cycling, it can be caused by a number of issues including: An incorrectly set thermostat inside your refrigerator. Dirt and dust on the coils that prevents efficient operation. Faulty capacitors or relays that prevent the compressor from staying on.
