Running a refrigerator with its door open in a closed room will actually increase the room's temperature. This is because refrigerators are designed to move heat from inside the unit to the outside. With the door open, the refrigerator works harder to cool the interior, which is now effectively the entire room. However, the process of running the refrigerator generates heat (due to the motor and other components working), and since the heat removed from the interior is released back into the room along with the extra heat generated by the refrigerator's components, the overall effect is an increase in room temperature.
