Refrigerator Alarm schematic

Refrigerator Alarm circuit, so that we know whether the fridge is closed or not. Refrigerator sometimes likes to play or open the lid by the children, and this resulted in a refrigerator at room temperature decreases and will increase the electrical load, so that the electricity to be extravagant. Therefore it is necessary alarm circuit.

Circuit placement and How it Works: This circuit is stored into a small box, placed in the fridge near the lamp (if any) or the opening. With the door closed in the refrigerator in the dark, the photo resistor R2 presents a high resistance (> 200K) thus clamping IC1 by holding pin 12 high. When a beam of light came when opening, or a refrigerator light bulbs, photo resistor lowers resistance (<2K), pin 12 so low, IC1 starts counting after a predetermined delay (20 seconds) piezo sounder beeps sound for 20 seconds. then stopped during the same time interval and the cycle repeats until the fridge door closed. D2 is connected to pin 6 of IC1 allows the piezo sounder beeps sound 3 times per second.
