Best part: every fridge in every house already does this. You just collect the money!

The pic suggests adding a fan but that will actually cause less heat output, since the fridge will be more efficient at maintaining inside temperature with heat removed faster from the condenser. The difference is slight though, since the refrigeration system’s waste heat (equal to its power consumption) is a small part of what exits the condenser, the rest is compensating the heat that seeps into the fridge by imperfect insulation (and does not heat your home anyway) plus a little bit for cooling recently-inserted warm things.
