A mini fridge produces some amount of heat when it's running because the compressor on the mini fridge heats up as well as the heat coming out of the refrigerator through the coils.

That heat is then sent into the room and heats some things up around it.

But the mini fridge is not running all the time or enough to cause any significant amount of heat to build up in the room.

The mini fridge certainly won't heat up a room when you have no other heat source but it might heat up your room more in summer and make it feel hotter in there.

But if you have air conditioning in the room it shouldn't be a problem and you likely won't notice any temperature change in the room with the mini fridge in it.
