Let’s say you put a running refrigerator inside a closet, close the closet, open the refrigerator door, why does the closet warm up?

I know it has to do with thermodynamics, and how fast the refrigerator can cool the air versus how hot is the surrounding air. No equations necessary, just why you think it’s happening. Thanks!
Lots of good explanations, Thanks everyone!
