4 REFRIGERATION PROCESS Refrigeration simplified. The hardest thing for most people to understand is refrigeration is the removal of heat. It is not the cooling of something. This then implies that everything has heat. And this is true for organic objects. ie. Food. There is a lot more to it, but to help understand your refrigerator. (The below is copied from http://www.air-conditioning-and-refrigeration-guide.com/refrigeration-cycle.html) We'll discuss the refrigeration cycle using this cycle diagram.

When the hot refrigerant vapor discharged from the compressor travels through the condenser, the cool air or water flowing through the condenser coil absorbs enough heat from the vapor to cause it to condense. If the outside air temperature is 27° C, an air cooled system is designed so that the temperature of the refrigerant, right at the point where it first condenses, will be about 40°C to 46°C.

It also does not have restrictive ventilation preventing good airflow over the condenser to help remove heat. As a test, place a thermometer in the cavity behind your Nova Kool fridge while its operating in the middle of the day, and compare the temperatures explained in the diagram to the temperatures on your thermometer.
