Where is the heat from the fridge going? also where is the heat from the pump, the friction of the water flowing in the pipes and all the other losses?
All of the energy that a system like this is going to use is going to be turned in to heat, add to that the fact that a fridge is just a heat pump with half of it inside of an insulated box, you are pulling heat out of that box and that keeps your food fresh and cool, the wast heat and the heat that was pulled out of the fridge escapes in to your kitchen, part of why kitchens are one of the warmest rooms in the house.
