Yeah, my freezer woke me up with its danger temperature beeps in the middle of the night during the last heat wave because I was doing this, turns out freezers sold in Europe don't like heat, the maximum rated is 35°C in the room to keep the temperature constant when it's closed and not freezing anything. You can do this if you have a freezer underground that you dedicate to ice I guess.
Hmmm I live at the equator so I've never seen a fridge do that. If you're particularly handy you could take a mini fridge, cut a hole in it and attach a circular ducting or large computer fan so you don't have to fill or move any bottles. If you're really handy you can splice the gas loop and stick the hot end outside the room with insulation so you're dumping the waste heat somewhere else. Things get very ghetto or rigged here. I set up a water heating rod (immersion water heater) in a bucket I hung up with a tap to get a hot shower, although one has to be careful not to burn themselves. Another way is to take a hose and paint it black, connect it to the water loop and leave it on the roof / outside so the sun heats the water inside but it's not a large volume, maybe good for 20 minutes of showing when mixed with cooler water. I haven't always lived here but I've always been handy. It's useful to know how to pump water, even uphill without electricity. To set up solar heat motors and other really rigged shit.
