how to make a refrigerator 5x less efficient and 10x as ugly

Because it pumps heat from inside to the back, so if the back is blocked it will struggle to pump heat into that tiny overheated space

Also the heat is surrounding the fridge which slowly leaks inside making it have to work harder to cool the fridge which causes it to heat up the fridge, cycling heat into and around itself

Every single house I've ever lived in or seen has had the back of the refrigerator up against a wall. Are you saying they should be free standing in the middle of the room??

No, they just shouldn't be boxed in.

Some vent down and under and some need space. You can tell the difference by the back of the fridge, if the loop is exposed then its likely the type that needs its space. If you see a cover over the rear then this would indicate an air channel.

I have never seen a fridge with an exposed loop like that.

Really? They are quite common in older models and work well.

No room for it to breathe. Just massive amounts of expelled energy trapped in a small space.
