Abstract: A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining a food storage chamber with a door movably coupled to the cabinet whereby the door is movable between a closed position and an open position. A method of operating the refrigerator appliance may include, or the refrigerator appliance may be operable for, receiving an intentional door open input and disabling a door alarm of the refrigerator appliance in response to the intentional door open input. Such methods or operations may further include automatically re-enabling the door alarm after disabling the door alarm.

Abstract: A micro switch is disclosed in the invention, which can be assembled and manufactured easily. Through a conjoining portion formed between a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion of resilient element that are used for switching on/off the electrical contact, and through a positioning portion that is for conjoining to the resilient element and is provided in the concave slot of the pushbutton corresponding to the conjoining portion, the first conductive portion of resilient element can then often keep in a contact manner with the first contact portion of first conductive terminal extending to the acceptance room. In addition, a pressing portion corresponding to the pushbutton will apply downward force on the second conductive portion so that the second conductive portion will move downwards to touch the second contact portion of second conductive terminal extending to the acceptance room. Thus, a micro switch that is easy to be assembled is then formed.

Abstract: A micro switch is disclosed in the invention, which provides a micro switch that can increase the activation interval of pushbutton as well as can be assembled and manufactured easily. Besides, a round hole is provided at two sides of the main body corresponding to the pivot point of pushbutton, and a place-in slot is provided extending from the round hole to the opening end of acceptance room. In addition, a gap is provided on the sidewall of the main body adjacent to the round hole, extending to the opening end of acceptance room. Moreover, a guiding slanting face is formed at the lower edge of pivot point of pushbutton; therefore, through flexible force formed by the gap and through the guiding slanting face that makes it easy for the pivot point to be conjoined to the round hole, a micro switch having a longer activation interval is then formed.
