Cold is to Refrigerator as warm is to?

We have the Refrigerator, which sort of "create their own cold" using electricity (these obviously have to be plugged in).
What do you call an electrical device that keeps things warm?
I would think a "Warmer", but the antonym of "warmer" is "cooler", and a "Cooler" is already a thing (it's an insulating device that keeps a cold thing cold, but it doesn't "generate" cold from being plugged in).
Please ignore the scientific atrocities of saying "generate" cold. I'm simply being brief.

It's not necessarily true that a 'cooler' is a passive item. The sort of insulated box you are talking about is usually a 'cool box' in the UK. Also the piece of equipment in the corner of the office that provides drinking water is called a 'water cooler' and most of them actively cool the water before it is dispensed.

I think your question goes off track. What does "warmer" being an antonym of "cooler" have to do with your question (the unfinished analogy, your title)? And, BTW, there are electric coolers, for example: wine coolers, and coolers to keep produce fresh (i.e., 'cool' vs. 'cold'...given that neither technically exists).

You use the word refrigerator in the title of your question. You also use the same word in the body of your question.
If you really want something analogous ("Cold is to Refrigerator as warm is to?"), the answer would be oven:
: a chamber used for baking, heating, or drying
// Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
// Please take the pizza out of the oven.
Like a refrigerator, an oven is also a kitchen appliance—but it serves exactly the opposite function.

An oven is used for roasting and baking, and you can of course keep cooked dishes warm in the oven but that is not its main function. In any case, this question looks more like idle curiosity or a riddle than a question about English. The same answer could be supplied in any language.

It's not necessarily true that a 'cooler' is a passive item. The sort of insulated box you are talking about is usually a 'cool box' in the UK. Also the piece of equipment in the corner of the office that provides drinking water is called a 'water cooler' and most of them actively cool the water before it is dispensed.

I think your question goes off track. What does "warmer" being an antonym of "cooler" have to do with your question (the unfinished analogy, your title)? And, BTW, there are electric coolers, for example: wine coolers, and coolers to keep produce fresh (i.e., 'cool' vs. 'cold'...given that neither technically exists).
