    The answer is, It doesn't violate the first law of thermodynamics

    Explanation:

    The reason is that a refrigerator system does not create energy, it only does work by removing heat from a system or surrounding.

    What is the first law of thermodynamics?

    The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.
