Hot air blowing on your fridge is a no brainer... since you
haven't checked it's likely a return. �And it doesn't make sense
to locate a heating supply vent near a cookstove (I'll assume
there is no exhaust fan to the outdoors, I hope). �Are you sure
one of those vents isn't a return? �
it's a heat vent. it has a chain to open/close it.

So what... if part of your heating system they're all "heat vents".
Actually they're registers. You need to ascertain which are supply
registers and which return registers... that it has a mechanism for
opening/closing does not indicate whether it's a supply or return.


Supply registers should not be adjustable - the supply side of a forced air system should not be restricted - there is no reason to do so and doing so with rugs or the wrong type of filter can cause overheating.
