Refrigerator "Door Open" Light

Visual Indication that the door's open on the *outside*

pretty self-explanatory, and of course inspired by my fridge that for no apparent reason isn't completely closing the door automatically for the last few weeks.

Simply a more fine-tuned fridge light, but on the outside: if the fridge(or freezer) doors aren't *completely* shut a light mounted on the outside of the door turns on... then after a few minutes an audio alarm.

Possible extensions include the door being *shut* but the temperature being way out of whack somewhere (indicating a cooling problem.
