You're not alone.
I'm baffled by the thought of the 0.3º C of heat produced by a fridge/freezer in a one room having any meaningful impact, given that the sun can raise the temperature in the whole house by up to 20º C.
And the idea that you shouldn't take the ice packs out of the freezer to cool yourself, because re-freezing them might increase the kitchen temperature by another fraction of a degree for a few hours.
The house has never been made uncomfortably warm by the heat from any appliance, including the central heating boiler. On average it feels overheated about 20 days a year, and the cause is always the sun.

I have one in the shed. From this day forth it will be known as Big Busty Brenda.
