if you are in an isolated room with a fridge in it, why does it get really hot? (if it does...)

A refrigerator works by removing the heat from the inside of the fridge, and radiating it to the outside. On the back you will see a large, metal grill. This radiates the heat away from the fridge. Normally, you won't notice this because your house is usually big enough to absorb it without noticeably raising the temperature. If, however, you're in an isolated room, (by which I assume you mean a small, closed room,) the temperature will rise due to this.

A refrigerator is a heat exchanger. If you hold your hand near the back of the fridge, those black pipes should be hot. In essence, the chemicals in those pipes suck the heat of our your fridge. They do not add cold, they remove heat. The heat is transfered from the pipes and into the room.

The fridge gets hot as the inside is kept cool. Every action has a reaction, thats life.

Why are you in an isolated room? Are you institutionalized? If not, just buy a smaller fridge and the problem is solved.

the fridge is constantly running on electricity because of which gives off heat radiation. plus there is no window, so the outside climate doesnt have much effect on the room.So, the room gets hot because of the fridge.

Fridges generate heat. Feel the back of them some time where what's known as the heat exchanger is.

The compresser at the back of the fridge is over heating.

because the elements at the back of fridges are hot.

Most electrical appliances generate heat, if this heat cannot escape then the closed space will get hot
