Question
If a refrigerator’s door is kept open, will the room become cool or hot? Explain.

Answer

If a refrigerator door is kept open the room will become hotter, because amount of heat absorbed from inside the refrigerator and work done on refrigerator by electricity both will be rejected by refrigerator in room.
