Are refrigeration and Air Conditioning a global warming feedback loop? NoStupidQuestions

By feedback loop, as an example:

polar ice reflects sun energy away from earth but as it melts the dark ocean water absorbs that heat instead of reflecting it, causing more heating and more ice melting.

can the same be said for refrigerators and air conditioning units?

it gets hot so we crank up the AC, and our fridges need to work harder. But dont AC and fridges produce and radiate heat?

So the machines cool our home interiors and food but make more radiant heat overall (looking at earth as a closed system), causing us to crank it up even more?
