My pet ferret learned how to open the under counter fridge a few months back so I have to put something heavy against the door when he's let out for a run round the kitchen every day. However the little arse who can shift 20 times his own weight without trying hard still sometimes manages to open the door a crack which I might not spot for a while or even until the next day. When I do the fridge light is generally out and won't respond to the button so in the past I've assumed a fuse has blown and the whole fridge is dead, checked everything, found no problem and then in its own time everything starts working again ok. So I've concluded that there's an internal timer on the fridge light and if it stays on too long the system shuts it off, perhaps to avoid heating the contents. Are modern fridges really that smart?
