a freezer or refrigerator uses electricity to compress a gas or liquid releasing energy as heat. so the energy transformation is electrical to thermal.
the compressed gas or liquid is pumped into pipes in the fridge where it is allowed to expand. it has to replace the energy lost when it was compressed so it absorbs the heat from the fridge cooling it.
Electricity runs the pump that compresses the Freon. 'Hot' compressed Freon goes into cooling tubes in the back or bottom of the refrigerator where it condenses to a liquid. The 'cool' liquid Freon goes thru a valve that maintains pressure on one side, but on the low pressure side the Freon vaporizes (boils) absorbing heat cooling the insides of the refrigerator. The 'hot' gaseous Freon then is recycled thru the compressor to be pressurized and liquefied again...etc.
The Energy Transformations in a Fridge are Electrical Energy, Mechanical Energy, Thermal Energy.I had to do this for science at high school in year 7 and this is the answer!hope it helps
The byproduct of energy transformations is heat, which is released into the environment. This is due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that some energy will always be converted into an unusable form (in this case, heat) during energy transformations.
Kinetic and potential energy are common types of energy involved in energy transformations. Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of objects, while potential energy is associated with the position or state of an object. These energies can be converted from one form to another during energy transformations.
During energy transformations, energy is never created or destroyed, but it can change from one form to another (e.g., thermal to mechanical).

In most energy transformations, part of the energy is wasted. Much of the wasted energy is usually converted to heat.

There are a few energy transformations when a gun is fired. Some of these include potential to kinetic energy, chemical to mechanical energy, and chemical to electromagnetic energy.
