Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2014008183A1] A method of removing condensation from a refrigerator/freezer door including at least one glass substrate (4502, 4504), the door being connected to a heating system operable in at least first and second modes, the method comprising: when the heating system is operating in the first mode (S4410), heating the door while condensation is detected as being present thereon, as determined via a moisture detector (4508); and when the heating system is operating in the second mode (S4416): heating the door when the door is determined to be open, and continuing to heat the door, until either the door is determined to be closed, or a thermal runaway (S4420) is detected, whichever comes first.
