BIg, big questions in Thermodynamics. ...
Not without "help" it can't. There are two versions of this. One is that it is impossible to take heat from something and convert it completely into work - there has to be some waste at a lower temperature. The other is that heat will not "spontaneously" go from a colder place to a warmer place. So, a domestic fridge needs a device to transfer the heat, that's that buzzing sound of a motor driving a refrigerant round in a cycle, taking heat out the fridge and making the surrounding warmer. It's also called a heat pump. The area near where the pump puts its heat can be felt to be warm.
