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.
