If the door of a refrigerator is kept opened on the hot day of summer,
what about degree C do you think room temperature falls? What degree
Centigrade do you think the temperature of the room will be, when it
is assumed that it is first 36-degree C? Please tell me your opinion.

Because the heat extracted by the refrigerator is exhausted into the
room, the temperature will not fall (and since no refrigerator is
anywhere close to 100% efficient, the temperature will rise).

However, because the room air does not mix perfectly, the temperature
will fall in front of the open refrigerator.

This is a bad substitute for air conditioning, because it will cause
the refrigerator compressor to run full-time; it is not designed to do
this and will fail rapidly.
