in general what ever the situation in good condition refrigerator does'nt consume more electricity when closed than opened.if it is most sophisticated then a slight increment of consumption takes place.that is because ,when v opened the door of refrigerator a light to navigate is switched on & waits for command to change the temperature reference.on the whole the electricity consumed when closed than opened is very much less that is of light wattage used to navigate.

1. The internal light comes on - so more electricity consumed than when the fridge is shut
2. All the cold air in the fridge is denser than the warm air outside, so it will "fall out" of the fridge (basically the inside of your fridge will get warmer). This means that the fridge will have to work harder to try to keep at the same cool temperature.
If this wasn't the case then they would make fridges without doors!

opening and closing it and opening and closing it will put a jump in the electricity because it cant establish a control temperture. Also the biggest electricity hike is the little vent cover along the bottom odf the fridge. take it off and vaccumn the dust thats behind it blocking the cooling systrem. when its blocked with dusts it has to work harder and harder just to get to a norm

you bet the light comes on, ,and you let the cold out ,so the compressor has to run more to cool the box, both of which uses more electricity
