A refrigerator is a heat engine that works in backward direction i.e., it extracts heat from a low
temperature reservoir and transfers it to a high temperature reservoir. Thus it exhausts more
heat into the room than it extracts from it. Hence the room gets heated.

Salvath, A refrigerater is worked by the principle of backward reaction so if you open the door then the room will be heated because It taken energy from high temperature this is the reason for this situation.
