I'm well aware that the default answer to this textbook default question is "it doesn't work", but still, I believe it does.
To cool the insides of the refrigerator, the compressor must do work, and since the efficiency isn't 100% you are constantly warming the whole room to cool it's insides, the winning move here is simply turning the refrigerator off. However, let's suppose it must stay on, wouldn't it be better to open the door?
In other words: Isn't opened refrigerator turned on better than closed refrigerator turned on for the whole room temperature?
