APPARATUS FOR REFRIGERATOR

摘要

Apparatus is for refrigerator having refrigerator door. Refrigerator is configured to be electrically powered via an electrical power outlet. Apparatus includes power-control assembly is configured to: receive power-disconnect command signal indicating that electrical power is to be disconnected from refrigerator for case where power-disconnect command signal is received; disconnect electrical power to refrigerator for case where power-control assembly receives power-disconnect command signal; convey door-open signal indicating to open the refrigerator door for case where power-control assembly receives power-disconnect command signal. Actuator assembly configured to: receive door-open signal from power-control assembly once door-open signal is transmitted; and mechanically operate the refrigerator door for case where door-open signal is received from power-control assembly in such way that actuator assembly, in use, holds the refrigerator door, in use, ajar in door-open state.
