Patent abstract
A refrigerator includes the ability to determine the amount of time that a light within the refrigerator remains on. If the on time exceeds a predetermined time period, the light is turned off. If the door of the refrigerator is repeatedly opened and closed, the total accumulated on time is monitored, and the light will be turned off when the total on time exceeds the predetermined time period. If the light remains off for more than a cooling off period, the accumulated on time timer is reset, and the light can again be turned on.
