Abstract
A refrigerator includes a receiving chamber and a drawer movably received in the receiving chamber. The drawer is at a first location when it is closed. The refrigerator further includes a first sensor that is fixed to the drawer or a wall of the receiving chamber. The first sensor is configured to detect when the drawer reaches a second location. The first and second locations are spaced apart by a spacing distance.
