I have no clue. Never use fuzzy logic for fridge. Just throw stuff in it.

If you can use your fridge that careless, it probably already has a fuzzy logic chip implemented.

Fuzzy logic is derived from fuzzy set theory dealing with reasoning that is approximate rather than precisely deduced from classical predicate logic. It can be thought of as the application side of fuzzy set theory dealing with well thought out real world expert values for a complex problem. (Klir 1997).
Degrees of truth are often confused with probabilities. However, they are conceptually distinct; fuzzy truth represents membership in vaguely defined sets, not likelihood of some event or condition. To illustrate the difference, consider this scenario: Bob is in a house with two adjacent rooms: the kitchen and the dining room. In many cases, Bob's status within the set of things "in the kitchen" is completely plain: he's either "in the kitchen" or "not in the kitchen". What about when Bob stands in the doorway? He may be considered "partially in the kitchen". Quantifying this partial state yields a fuzzy set membership. With only his big toe in the dining room, we might say Bob is 99% "in the kitchen" and 1% "in the dining room", for instance. No event (like a coin toss) will resolve Bob to being completely "in the kitchen" or "not in the kitchen", as long as he's standing in that doorway. Fuzzy sets are based on vague definitions of sets, not randomness.
Fuzzy logic allows for set membership values between and including 0 and 1, shades of gray as well as black and white, and in its linguistic form, imprecise concepts like "slightly", "quite" and "very". Specifically, it allows partial membership in a set. It is related to fuzzy sets and possibility theory. It was introduced in 1965 by Prof. Lotfi Zadeh at the University of California, Berkeley.
Fuzzy logic is controversial in some circles, despite wide acceptance and a broad track record of successful applications. It is rejected by some control engineers for validation and other reasons, and by some statisticians who hold that probability is the only rigorous mathematical description of uncertainty. Critics also argue that it cannot be a superset of ordinary set theory since membership functions are defined in terms of conventional sets.

Well spoken .... I see, I found another fan of fuzzy logic on myLot! :))

'fuzzy logic' - . sorry.. not understood?
Before I answer this question, I like to think about, why this thread was created ? And what was the real motive for this question? When I find nothing wrong, immediately I prefer to answer. However I like questions on science and politics but don't ignore other members requests. I'm thankful to mylot for giving such opportunity to share our views with international members.

A nice introduction was written by BART KOSKO, "Fuzzy thinking", 1993, Hyperion, New York. And you can find him also on his Website http://sipi.usc.edu/~kosko/

In my eyes by a chip and sensors for more benefit:
1)deeper cooling in summertime than in wintertime to fullfil my refreshment needs better
2) enhancing energy efficiency by checking, if the deep freeze is filled or not in order to cut it off, when is nothing inside
3) improve temperature control for different inside compartments: my butter normally is to cold when I want to put it on my bread; my milk should be stored colder in order not to spoil, than is necessary for the lemonade bottles

well if your not talking about mold i don't understand the question but if you are then it's simple when in doubt throw it out. Food usually last 3 days like meats but pastas and rices last up to seven.
